Import the signed certificate. When the external Certificate Authority

returns the signed certificate, perform these steps to import the certificate.

This procedure combines the signed certificate and the private key into an

SSL server certificate that you then upload to the Management Card in the

Battery Management System master controller. (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 Import Signed Certificate.

3. Browse to and select the signed server certificate that you received

from the external Certificate Authority. The file has a .cer or .crt

extension.

4. Browse to and select the file you created in step 4 of the task, Create

the Certificate Signing Request (CSR). This file has a .p15 extension,

contains the Management Card’s private key, and, by default, is

located in the installation folder C:\Program Files\American Power

Conversion\APC Security Wizard.

5. Specify a name for the output file that will be the signed server

certificate that you upload to the Management Card. The file must have

a .p15 extension.

6. Click Next to generate the server certificate. The certificate’s Issuer

Information on the summary screen confirms that the external

Certificate Authority signed the certificate.

7. The last screen verifies that the certificate has been created and

instructs you on the next task, to load the server certificate to the

Battery Management System. It displays the location and name of the

server certificate, which has a .p15 file extension and contains the

Management Card’s private key and the public key obtained from the

.cer or .crt file.
