Please reset RAC card! omconfig rac generatecert Use the omconfig rac generatecert command to generate the certificate signing request (CSR) that you send to a certificate authority (CA). A certificate authority is a business entity that is recognized in the IT industry for meeting high standards of reliable screening, identification, and other important security criteria. Examples of CAs include Thawte and VeriSign. After the CA receives your CSR, they review and verify the information the CSR contains. If the applicant meets the CA's security standards, the CA issues a certificate to the applicant that uniquely identifies that applicant for transactions over networks and on the Internet. For the purposes of the RAC, you can use the omconfig rac generatecert command to generate a CSR. Then you send the CSR in your application to the CA; the CA approves the CSR and sends you a certificate. Then use the omconfig rac uploadcert command to upload the certificate to the RAC. Uploading your new certificate replaces the default RAC certificate that you received with your RAC. NOTE: Whenever you have a fully qualified pathname or filename that contains spaces, you must place double quotation marks around the string. For example, if your update package is located at c:\security files\certificates\sslcert.cer, you must place the fully qualified path in double quotations because there is a space between "security" and "files." The following is an example command using the fully qualified path and filename enclosed in quotation marks. omconfig rac generatecert file="c:\security files\certificates\sslcert.cer" NOTE: Except for the two-letter country code, all other parameter values are strings. Parameters are required only if indicated (required). NOTE: This command makes use of the FTP protocol to communicate with the RAC firmware. The command may fail if firewall software is installed in the system. Table 7-4 shows required and optional parameters that are used to generate your CSR. 124 omconfig rac: Managing the Remote Access Controller
