Table 5-61. Managing and Recovering a Remote System
Question Answer
When accessing the CMC Web
interface, I get a security warning
stating the host name of the SSL
certificate does not match the
host name of CMC.
CMC includes a default CMC server certificate to
ensure network security for the Web interface and
remote RACADM features. When this certificate
is used, the Web browser displays a security
warning because the default certificate is issued to
CMC default certificate which does not match
the host name of CMC (for example, the IP
address).
To address this security concern, upload a CMC
server certificate issued to the IP address of CMC.
When generating the certificate signing request
(CSR) to be used for issuing the certificate, ensure
that the common name (CN) of the CSR matches
the IP address of CMC (for example,
192.168.0.120) or the registered DNS CMC name.
To ensure that the CSR matches the registered
DNS CMC name:
1 In the System tree, click Chassis Overview.
2 Click the Network tab, and then click Network .
The
Network Configuration page appears.
3 Select the Register CMC on DNS check box.
4 Enter the CMC name In the DNS CMC
Name
field.
5 Click Apply Changes .
For more information about generating CSRs and
issuing certificates, see "Securing CMC
Communications Using SSL and Digital
Certificates" on page 173.
