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

53

)." 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.

default, this is the dynamic DNS name of the VC-Enet module.

Certificate Information

"Issued for" field. If the Domain Administrator has requested a new certificate

and it is signed by a CA, then the name of the CA is displayed.
