Certificate revocation list
Use this task to create, modify, delete, and import the certificate revocation list that is used on your Hardware Management Console (HMC).
All remote browsers that are accessing the HMC must use Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) encryption. A certificate is required to provide the keys for this encryption. The HMC provides a self-signed certificate that allows this encryption to occur.
To manage your certificate revocation list, complete the following steps:
- In the navigation area, click HMC management.
- In the content pane, click Certificate revocation list.
- Use the menu bar from the Manage Certificate Revocation List Management
window for the actions you want to take with the certificates:
- To create a new certificate revocation list for the console, click
Import, then select New CRL. Determine whether your
certification revocation list is imported from removable media on the console or from the file
system on the system that is running the web browser. Note: If the list is from removable media, then the certificate revocation list file must be in the top directory on the media.
- To modify a certificate revocation list on the console, select the certification revocation list from the table, and make appropriate changes, then click Apply.
- To delete a certificate revocation list from the console, click Selected, then select Delete CRL. Select the certification revocation list, then click OK.
- To work with existing and archived certificates or signing certificates, click Advanced.
- To create a new certificate revocation list for the console, click
Import, then select New CRL. Determine whether your
certification revocation list is imported from removable media on the console or from the file
system on the system that is running the web browser.
