1. Create a SSL Certificate Signing Request. You need to fill out a number of
fields that are explained below. Once this is done, click on the button "Create"
which will initiate the Certificate Signing Request generation. The CSR can be
downloaded to your administration machine with the "Download CSR" button.
2. Send the saved CSR to a CA for certification. You will get the new certificate
from the CA after a more or less complicated traditional authentication process
(depending on the CA).
3. Upload the certificate to the OPMA module using the "Upload" button.
After completing these three steps, KVM-over-IP Sever Management has its
own certificate that is used for identifying the card to its clients.
