Managing the Server Certificate
You can generate a certificate signing request (CSR) to obtain a new certificate, and you can upload the new certificate to the Cisco IMC to replace the current server certificate. The server certificate may be signed either by a public Certificate Authority (CA), such as Verisign, or by your own certificate authority. The generated certificate key length is 2048 bits.

Before performing any of the following tasks in this chapter, ensure that the Cisco IMC time is set to the current time. |
