Use CA-signed certificates for controllers

You can obtain CA-signed certificates for secure communications between the controllers and the browser used for accessing System Manager.

Before you begin

  • You must be logged in with a user profile that includes Security admin permissions. Otherwise, certificate functions do not appear.

About this task

Using CA-signed certificates is a two-step procedure.

  1. Step 1: Complete and submit a CSR for the controllers
    You must first generate a certificate signing request (CSR) file for each controller in the storage array, and then submit the file(s) to a certificate authority (CA).
  2. Step 2: Import signed certificates for controllers
    After you receive signed certificates, you import the files for the controllers.
