Create an SSL Server User Certificate. Perform these steps. (Click Next

to move from screen to screen.)

1. On the Windows Start menu, select Programs, then APC Security

Wizard, to start the Wizard program.

2. On the screen labeled Step 1, select SSL Server Certificate as the

type of file to create.

3. Enter a name for the file that will contain the server certificate and the

private key. The file name must have a .p15 extension. By default, the

file will be created in the installation folder C:\Program

Files\American Power Conversion\APC Security Wizard.

4. Click the Browse button, and select the CA root certificate created in

the procedure Create a Root Certificate & Server Certificates. The CA

Root Certificate is used to sign the Server User Certificate being

generated.

5. On the screen labeled Step 2, provide the information to configure the

server certificate. The Country and Common Name fields are

required; the other fields are optional. For the Common Name field,

enter the IP address or DNS name of the server (Management Card in

the Battery Management System master controller). Because the

configuration information is part of the signature, it cannot be exactly

the same as the information you provided when creating the CA root

certificate; the information you provide in some of the fields must be

different.

By default, a server certificate is valid for 10 years from the

current date and time, but you can edit the Validity Period

Start and Validity Period End fields.
