Uploading a Custom Self-Signed Web Server Certificate

Prev Next

You must upload your custom certificate to the NDR after it is signed by a certificate authority. If the certificate is signed by an unknown certificate authority, you must also upload the certificate authority to the NDR and configure it in KLISH. The certificate authority file you upload must also be PEM-encoded.

To upload a self-signed server certificate:

  1. Log in to the NDR as npadmin using the NDR IP address or FQDN. For example:

    $ ssh npadmin@10.1.0.1

    or

    $ ssh npadmin@exampleFQDN

  2. Enter privileged mode:

    npadmin@ia> enable

  3. Enter the npadmin password. The password can be 5 to 24 characters long.

    [sudo] password for npadmin: <password>

  4. Enter configuration mode:

    npadmin@ia# configure system

  5. Enter the Web server certificate configuration menu.

    npadmin@ia(config)# certificates

  6. Enter 1 to replace the default self-signed certificate with a custom certificate. The custom certificate configuration menu appears.

  7. Enter 2. You see the following: The certificate must first be uploaded to the appliance in pem-encoded format Server Certificate (path):

  8. Enter the PEM-encoded custom certificate. Press Enter.
