Load the server certificate to the Rack PDU.
1. On the Administration tab, select Network on the top menu bar and ssl
certificate under the Web heading on the left navigation menu.
2. Select Add or Replace Certificate File , and browse to the server certificate,
the .p15 file you created in the procedure Create a Root Certificate and Server
Certificates . (The default location is C:\Program Files\Dell\Rack PDU
Security Wizard .)
Create an SSH Host Key
Summary
This procedure is optional. If you select SSH encryption, but do not create a host key,
the Rack PDU generates a 2048-bit RSA key when it reboots. You define whether the
host keys for SSH that are created with the Rack PDU Security Wizard are 1024-bit or
2048-bit RSA keys.
• Use the Rack PDU Security Wizard to create a host key, which is encrypted and
stored in a file with the .p15 suffix.
• Load the host key onto the Rack PDU.
Alternatively, you can use FTP or Secure CoPy (SCP) to transfer the server
certificate to the Rack PDU. For SCP, the command to transfer a certificate
named
cert.p15 to a Rack PDU with an IP address of 156.205.6.185 would
be:
scp cert.p15 [email protected]
You can generate a 1024-bit key, or you can generate a 2048-bit key, which
provides complex encryption and a higher level of security.
