Certificate Signing Request

The Certificate Signing Request (CSR) is located under Device Management >Security >Private

Certification section. The Certificate Signing Request (CSR) section provides an automated way to

obtain and install a CA signed SSL server certificate. The KVM switch supports 1024-bit certificates

only in .cer format of x509 type.

To perform this operation:

1. Click Create CSR to open the dialog box.

2. Fill in the form with valid entries for your site. There are no unacceptable characters.

3. Click Create when finished (all fields are required). A self-signed certificate based on the

information just provided is now stored on the KVM switch.

4. Click Get CSR, and save the certificate file (csr.cer) to your computer. This is the file given to

the third party CA to apply for their signed SSL certificate.

5. After the CA sends you the certificate, save it to a convenient location on your computer. Click

Browse to locate the file; then click Upload to store it on the KVM switch.

Note: When the file is uploaded, the KVM switch checks the file to make sure the

specified information still matches. If it does, the file is accepted, if not, it is rejected.

To remove the certificate (Example: replacing it due to a domain name change), click Remove CSR.
