APPENDIX

Provisioning Self-Sign Certificates

The Secure Socket Layer (SSL) protocol secures the network communication and allows data to be

encrypted before transmission and provides security. Many application servers and Web servers support

the use of keystores for SSL configuration.

This appendix also includes information on how to select the RSA Key Manager.

This appendix includes the following sections:

•

Configuring SSL for Cisco SME, page C-1

•

Generating and Installing Self-Signed Certificates, page C-4

•

Editing SSL Settings in Cisco Fabric Manager Web Client, page C-6

Configuring SSL for Cisco SME

A certificate is an electronic document that you use to identify a server, a company, or some other entity

and to associate that identity with a public key.

Certificate authority (CA) are entities that validate identities and issue certificates. The certificate that

the CA issues binds a particular public key to the name of the entity that the certificate identifies (such

as the name of a server or device). Only the public key that the certificate certifies works with the

corresponding private key that is possessed by the entity that the certificate identifies. Certificates help

prevent the use of fake public keys for impersonation.

You must install a third-party tool such as the OpenSSL application to generate a certificate request. In

Windows, by default, openssl.exe is located at c:\openssl\bin.

Before configuring the SSL, consider the following:

•

Ensure that the time in all the switches, Fabric Manager server and the system running the OpenSSL

commands, are all synchronized.

•

Provide different identities for the CA certificate and KMC certificate.

•

Only JRE1.6 JAVA keytool is supported for importing PKCS12 certificates to Java Keystores (JKS)

files.

This section describes the following topics:

•

Creating CA Certificates, page C-2

•

Generating KMC Certificate, page C-4
