Troubleshooting
If you cannot access the SMI-S function, check the network environment and access destination. If
access cannot be made even though there is no problem with the network environment and access
destination, contact HP Technical Support.
Uploading a signed certificate to the SMI-S provider
To use certificates in SSL communication with the SMI-S provider, you must update and upload the
private key and the signed server certificate (public key) to the SMI-S provider to update the
certificate. Use the following procedure to upload and update certificates using a certificate update
tool.
Prerequisites
Ensure that the following items have been completed:
•
A private key (.key file) has been created. Change the file name to server.key unless the
file is already named that.
•
A signed public key certificate (.crt file) has been acquired. Change the file name to
server.crt
unless the file is already named that.
•
The private key (server.key file) and the signed public key certificate (server.crt file)
are in Base 64-encoded X509 format.
Procedure
1. Terminate all Remote Web Consoles connected to the SMI-S provider.
