Usage Guidelines
There is a default server certificate installed in the controller, however this certificate does not guarantee security in
production networks. Best practices are to replace the default certificate with a custom certificate issued for your
site by a trusted Certificate Authority (CA). See the Dell PowerConnect W-Series ArubaOS User Guide for more
information about how to generate a Certificate Signing Request (CSR) to submit to a CA and how to import the
signed certificate received from the CA into the controller. After importing the signed certificate into the controller,
use the web-server command to specify the certificate for captive portal or WebUI access. If you need to specify a
different certificate for captive portal or WebUI access, use the no command to revert back to the default certificate
before you specify the new certificate (see the Example section).
You can use client certificates to authenticate management users. If you specify certificate authentication, you need
to configure certificate authentication for the management user with the mgmt-user webui-cacert command.
Example
The following commands configure WebUI access with client certificates only, and specify the server certificate for
the controller:
(host) (config) #web-server mgmt-auth certificate
switch-cert ServerCert1
mgmt-user webui-cacert serial 1111111 web-admin root
To specify a different server certificate, use the no command to revert back to the default certificate before you
specify the new certificate:
(host) (config) #web-server mgmt-auth certificate
switch-cert ServerCert1
no switch-cert
switch-cert ServerCert2
