Untrusted certificates occur when a storage array attempts to establish a secure connection to SANtricity Unified Manager, but the connection fails to confirm as secure. During the array discovery process, you can resolve untrusted certificates by importing a certificate authority (CA) certificate (or CA-signed certificate) that has been issued by a trusted third party.
Before you begin
- You must be logged in with a user profile that includes Security Admin permissions.
- You have generated a certificate signing request (.CSR file) for each controller in the storage array, and sent it to the CA.
- The CA returned trusted certificate files.
- The certificate files are available on your local system.
About this task
You may need to install additional trusted CA certificates if any of the following are true:
- You recently added a storage array.
- One or both certificates are expired.
- One or both certificates are revoked.
- One or both certificates are missing a root or intermediate certificate.
Procedure
-
Select the check box next to any storage array that you want to resolve untrusted certificates for, and then select the Import button.
A dialog box opens for importing the trusted certificate files.
- Click Browse to select the certificate files for the storage arrays.
The file names display in the dialog box.
- Click Import.
The files are uploaded and validated.
Note: Any storage array with untrusted certificate issues that are unresolved will not be added to Unified Manager.
- Click Next to proceed to the next step in the wizard.
- Go to Provide passwords.
