The certificate does not have a matching certificate signing request (CSR).

The certificate does not have a matching certificate signing request (CSR).

We maintain our own PKI infrastructure, when I try to add a CA signed X.509 cert into OneView (v7.0) I get the following
error.

The CSR in question is, I think, the default one that is generated when the box is configured. Our internal DN consists of multiple OU and other elements O=, that I cannot configure into the CSR, the CN of the provided certificate is not the FQDN of the unit. The CA certificate has been added to Oneview.

Copy the CA certificate text and paste it into the box:
Error:

"The certificate does not have a matching certificate signing request (CSR).
Unable to import signed certificate.
The certificate signing request (CSR) was not found for the specified signed certificate.

ResolutionGenerate a certificate signing request (CSR). Obtain a CA-signed certificate. Then, import the signed certificate again. "

Hello,

 

From the above comments we suspect the generated CA is not correct.

Please find the below steps to generate the certificate and add it to the appliance.

@MV3 

Thanks for taking the time to respond.

Your answer doesn't help us in this situation as we cannot modify the CSR to match the format of our DN
which is in the format of CN=<name>,OU=<name>, OU=<name>, O=<name>, C=<country>

Plus we have specific naming format for the CN of appliances that doesn't match the default. ie we cannot use the FQDN as a CN.
Is there a way to be able to bascially upload a P12, with our own private key and public cert for the device?

Hi

 

The certificate that gets generated by default on a newly installed appliance is an RSA certificate. Currently, only RSA certificates are supported for the appliance certificate.

 

Please log a support case with HPE for a review of the issue reported.
