If you use the following process, the

self-signed certificate

that was generated by the HP SMH is

replaced with one issued by a

certificate authority

(CA).

The first step of the process is to cause the HP SMH to create a Certificate Request (PKCS #10).
This request uses the original private key associated with the self-signed certificate and
generates data for the certificate request. The private key never leaves the server during this
process.

After the Public Key Infrastructure PKCS #10 data is created, the next step is to send it to a
certificate authority. Follow your company policies for sending secure requests for and receiving
secure certificates.

After the certificate authority returns the PKCS #7 data, the final step is to import this into HP
SMH.

After the PKCS #7 data is imported, the original \hp\sslshare\cert.pem certificate file
for Windows and /opt/hp/sslshare/cert.pem (/etc/opt/hp/sslshare/cert.pem
in HP SMH 2.1.3 and later on Linux x86 and x86-64) is overwritten with the system certificate
from the PKCS #7 data envelope. The same private key is used for the new imported certificate
