HP Virtual Connect 8Gb 20-port Fibre Channel Module for c-Class BladeSystem - Manual (Page 52)

Virtual Connect domains 52
On initial startup, VCM generates a default self-signed SSL certificate valid for 10 years, and the certificate
is issued to the DNS name of the VC-Enet module (the dynamic DNS name from the Default Networks Setting
label). Because this default certificate is self-signed, the "issued by" field is also set to the same DNS name.
If VCM is configured with a VC domain IP address, then future certificate requests generated will reflect this
domain IP address. For information on generating a new certificate, see "SSL Certificate Administration
(Certificate Signing Request) screen (on page 54 )." For information on uploading certificates for use in the
VC-Enet module, see "SSL Certificate Administration (Certificate Upload) screen (on page 56 )."
NOTE: When using a domain IP address, Certificate Administration allows a common certificate
to be utilized between a primary module and a subsequent primary module in the adjacent
horizontal bay after a failover.
The following table describes the fields on the SSL Certificate Administration (Certificate Info) screen.
Row Description
Cert Common Name The subject, or "Common Name," to which this SSL Certificate is issued. By
default, this is the dynamic DNS name of the VC-Enet module.
