Creating a self-signed certiﬁcate

The SKM allows you to test self-signed certiﬁcates. This allows you to avoid getting a certiﬁcate request

signed by a local CA, or a CA on another SKM. Self-signed certiﬁcates can be presented to client

applications just like any other certiﬁ cate.

IMPORTAN

Aself-si

gned certiﬁcate should be used for testing purposes only. Any attempt to connect with an SKM

using a t

est self-signed certiﬁcate sends a warning to the client browser.

To create a self-signed certiﬁcate:

1. Log in to the Management Console as an administrator with Certiﬁcates access control.

2. Navigate to the Create Certiﬁcate Request section of the Certiﬁcate and CA Conﬁguration page

(Security > Certiﬁcates).

3. Enter the Certiﬁcate Name, Common Name, Organization Name, Organizational Unit Name,

Locality Name, StateorProvinceName, Country Name, Email Address,andKey Size for the

certiﬁcate.

4. Click Create Certiﬁcate Request.Thecertiﬁcate request will appear in the Certiﬁcate List section on

the top of the page.

5. Select the certiﬁcate request and click Properties to access the Certiﬁcate Request Information section.

6. Click Create Self Sign Certiﬁcate.

7. Enter the duration for which the certiﬁcate will be valid in the Certiﬁcate Duration ﬁeld.

8. Click Create. The SKM performs the following steps:

a. The certiﬁcate request is copied into a new certiﬁcate request called <certiﬁcate_name>–selfsign.

b. The SKM transforms <certiﬁcate_name> –selfsign into an active certiﬁcate by generating a

self-signed certiﬁcate.

The self–signed certiﬁcate is presented as an Active Certiﬁcate in the Certiﬁcate List.

NOTE:

The SKM keeps time based on the universal standard of GMT/UTC and provides for clock error up to

one full day difference from the date of the certiﬁcate start.

Installing a certiﬁcate

Prior to installing a certiﬁcate, you must have a copy of the certiﬁcate response from the CA.
