Select WinRM Service, and then enable Allow Basic Authentication.

Generating a self-signed certificate for Microsoft and Linux servers

Use Openssl to create a self-signed certificate. Openssl is available on both Microsoft Windows and Linux

operating systems.

To create a self-signed certificate on Microsoft Windows:

1. Generate a private key:

openssl genrsa –des3 –out server.key 1024

2. Enter a passphrase at the prompt. Be sure to record the passphrase.

3. Generate a CSR:

openssl req –new –key server.key –out server.csr

4. At the prompt for a common name, enter the Microsoft Windows Server hostname or IP address.

5. Enter a value for all bolded parameters at the prompt for certificate information.

Remove a passphrase from a key

1. Run cp server.key server.key.org.

2. Run openssl rsa -in server.key.org -out server.key.

Generate a self-signed certificate

To generate a self-signed certificate that is valid for 365 days:

openssl x509 -req -days 365 -in server.csr -signkey server.key -out

server.crt

The following example shows the output from the command:

Signature ok

subject=/C=US/ST=Texas/L=Houston/O=Hewlett-Packard/OU=Engineering/CN=MGM

TAPP- LAB3/emailAddress=

Verifying a self-signed certificate

To verify a self-signed certificate, run openssl verify server.crt.

The following example shows the output from the command:

server.crt:/C=US/ST=Texas/L=Houston/O=Hewlett-Packard/OU=Engineering/CN=

MGMTAPP- LAB3/emailAddress=

If an error message appears, such as Error 18 at 0 depth lookup:self signed certificate,

ignore the message. The error indicates the certificate is self-signed.

Converting the certificate from crt to pkcs12 format

For Microsoft Windows Server, configure the certificate in the pkcs12 format.

To convert the certificate to pkcs:

1. Run openssl pkcs12 -export -in server.crt -inkey server.key -out hostname.pfx.

2. Enter a user name and password at the prompt.
