how to generate self signed certificate for iLo2 with openssl?

[Rustio]

Hi to all,

I'm trying to update my iLO2 (Firmware 2.27) SSL on 2 ProLiant DL380 G5 and ProLiant DL360 G6 certificate because the actual certificate is too old and weak and i receive errors when i connect to it.

what i have tried:

1- Connected to my ilo trough web interface and generated CSR copied text and saved to ilo.csr on my workstation

2 - installed openssl on my workstation (windows machine) and generated an RSA key

Text

openssl genrsa -des3 -out custom.key 2048

3 - removed passphrase from the key

Text

openssl rsa -in custom.key -out customNoPwd.key

4 - generated certificate

Text

openssl x509 -req -days 3650 -in ilo.csr -signkey customNoPwd.key -out ilo.pem

but when i try to import my certificate i get the following error:

Import Certificate - Failure X.509 Certificate Import Error
The Certificate could not be imported from the supplied X.509 Certificate data.

Check the following:
- Make sure that the input text was base64 encoded X.509 Certificate data.
- Make sure that the input X.509 Certificate data was intended for this server (not another server).

The certificate is 2KB i have read that the maximum is 3KB and I have however already tried to use a 1024 key...what i am doing wrong??

P.S. sorry for my english
