Setting The Ssl Certificate - HP StorageWorks 1510i - Modular Smart Array User Manual

2. To enter an initiator-specific CHAP secret in both the SMU and in the iSCSI initiator software utility:
a. On the server, open the iSCSI initiator software utility. Navigate through the iSCSI initiator
software utility and either assign a CHAP secret to the initiator or record the existing CHAP
secret.
b. In the SMU, select Initiator > CHAP Settings. Then, enter the same CHAP secret assigned to
the initiator the iSCSI initiator software utility.
3. On the server, open the iSCSI initiator software utility. Navigate through the iSCSI initiator software
utility to locate and select the option to perform mutual authentication.
Setting the SSL certificate
A Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) certificate provides browser security, ensuring a secure connection between
the array controller and an initiating server, over which any amount of data can be sent securely. SSL
works by using a private key to encrypt data transferred over the internet.
The array controller ships with a default certificate already installed, but until a server-specific certificate is
installed, a warning message is displayed when accessing the SMU.
SSL certificate implementation on the MSA1510i makes use of PEM formatted files. Microsoft Certificate
Services do not directly support the PEM file format, but the publicly available OpenSSL toolset is
recommended for generating required keys and certificates or for converting Microsoft private key
exports into PEM format. For more information, see the HP Storageworks Modular Smart Array 1510i
Advanced Planning and Configuration Guide.
