Certificate

[pyc_1]

I try to create a new Certificate rather than using the self-signed. The CSR is created and submitted to Windows 2003 Cerficiate Server. However, the issued certificate that is returned from Windows 2003 CA is in the format DER. Trying to import into SIM by using menu Options/security/certificates/server certificates and click Import, it shows the error 'file upload error'. What should I do

I get the same error. Did you ever resolve this?

What browser are you using? Perhaps this is a security setting in the browser.

Tried IE7 and Firefox 2.

I'm sure i'm following the instructions. Click Import in HPSIM, generate CSR, visit AD's CA certsrv website, create new request based on the CSR, issue the cert, export in pk7 format, then try and import it.

Always getting the same error...

thanks for your help

I found these two bits of information:

If the certificate reply received from the CA is a single certificate, then first import a self-signed root certificate from the issuing CA into the HP Systems Insight Manager (HP SIM) Trusted System Certificates List. After importing the CA root certificate, the certificate reply can then be imported to serve as the HP SIM server certificate.

and...

HP SIM only supports importing certificates that have a public key size of 2,046 bits or less.

Let us know if any of these help fix the problem.
