Choosing a method for your system
Using the Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) protocol, you can choose any of the
following methods for using digital certificates.
Method 1: Use the auto-generated default certificate. When you
enable SSL, you must reboot the Rack PDU. During rebooting, if no server
certificate exists on the Rack PDU, the Rack PDU generates a default
server certificate that is self-signed but that you cannot configure.
This method has the following advantages and disadvantages:
Advantages:
Before they are transmitted, the user name and password for Rack
PDU access and all data to and from the Rack PDU are encrypted.
You can use this default server certificate to provide encryption-
based security while you are setting up either of the other two digital
certificate options, or you can continue to use it for the benefits of
encryption that SSL provides.
Disadvantages:
The Rack PDU takes up to 5 minutes to create this certificate, and
the Web interface is not available during that time. (This delay
occurs the first time you log on after you enable SSL.)
This method does not include the browser-based authentication
provided by a CA certificate (a certificate signed by a Certificate
Authority) as Methods 2 and 3 provide. There is no CA Certificate
cached in the browser. Therefore, whenever you log on to the Rack
PDU, the browser generates a security alert, indicating that a
certificate signed by a trusted authority is not available and asking if
you want to proceed.
The default server certificate on the Rack PDU has the Rack PDU’s
serial number in place of a valid common name (the DNS name or
the IP address of the Rack PDU). Therefore, although the Rack
