Issue with server certificate

nrahulan — Fri, 08 Jul 2011 07:48:01 GMT

Hi,

My HPSIM server certifcate was going to expire next week hence I had create a nwe server certificate via below option:-

Select Options>>Security>>Certificates>>Server Certificates, and then click New. The New Server

Certificate

All the fields were auto populated and I then clicked OK. New certificate got generated for years and then I rebooted the server.

Now when I am trying to acces the HPSIM url https://myserver.mycompany.com:50000 I am still getting the SSL certificate error:-

There is a problem with this website's security certificate

Kindly let me know where I had made the mistake.. Also if I need to update the Trusted certificate also and/or need to syn the server certificate with all the nodes added in HPSIM.

Thanks

Nishant

Hi,

Check if the certificate is signed by the trusted CA

A certificate must be signed to be valid. If it is signed by a Certifying Authority (CA) and that CA is trusted, all certificates signed by the CA are also trusted. A self-signed certificate is one that is signed by itself. In other words, the owner of the certificate is also acting as its own CA. Self-signed certificates are the default for HP management products, though they do support certificates signed by Certifying Authorities.

What browser are you using? When you say 'There is a problem with this website's security certificate' does it prevent you from progressing? Can you post a screen shot of the error and an screen shot of your cert trust chain?
