b-series certificates to outband cimc connections

raven428c

Level 1

I installed custom certificate to UCS 3.1(1l) for https connection, and got green lock at chrome status bar by adding my own certificate authority to system trust. But when I try to launch vKVM or Java version of UCS Manager I still got expired certificate:

uexpired certificatecs

When I do direct https connection to outband management IP of any server, I also get self signed certificates and warnings.

How to sign all UCS Manager certificates by my own CA? I would like walk to my servers without any warnings.

The KVM certificates are internal only, and are not modifiable.

On the C series, where there is an HTML5 based KVM, I'm not sure if this will change.

Will post more after researching that.

Please keep in mind the CIMC ip address (the KVM runs off of ) in a blade is subject to change(i.e. decom/re-eack) and certificates that don't match the IP/name are still going to give you errors, even if there was a mechanism to insert yours.

Thanks,

I tested a M4 C series server running 3.01c, and the HTML5 KVM reported the updated certificate after I changed it for the CIMC.  I am "assuming" an external CA based certificate would behave the same in this scenario.

I doubt that Java based KVM certs will get this functionality.

Thanks,

Kirk...
