Open the OpenSSL command prompt.
2.
Run a 8 byte hash on the CA certificate that is currently in-use on the management station using the command:
openssl x509 -
in (name of CA cert) -noout -hash
An output file is generated. For example, if the CA certificate file name is
cacert.pem
, the command is:
openssl x509 –in cacert.pem –noout –hash
The output similar to “431db322” is generated.
3.
Rename the CA file to the output file name and include a “.0" extension. For example, 431db322.0.
4.
