To use SSL-encrypted communication, you must update and upload the private key and the signed server certificate (public key) to the management client.

Note: The extended profile fields in the X.509 certificate support the following items as specified in RFC5280:
  • BasicConstraints
  • KeyUsage
  • SubjectKeyIdentifier
  • subjectAltName
  • You must have the Storage Administrator (Initial Configuration) role to perform this task.
  • You must be logged in to the SVP or management client.
  • A private key (.key file) has been created. Make sure that the file name is server.key.
  • The passphrase for the private key (server.key file) is released.
  • A signed public key certificate (.crt file) has been acquired. Make sure that the file name is server.crt.
  • The private key (.key file) must be in PEM format. You cannot use DER format.
  • The signed public key certificate (.crt file) must be in X509 PEM format. You cannot use X509 DER format.
  • The passphrase for the private key (server.key file) must be released.

    Note:
