Secure Boot Certification expiration PowerEdge Servers

Question

Hello everyone,

in response to the secure boot certification expiration, we wanted to check out further information for PowerEdge servers.

Dell refers to the article https://www.dell.com/support/kbdoc/000402373 but I get a "The chosen document is not currently available. Please try again later."
Why is that?

Hello,

this link to this article:

https://www.dell.com/support/kbdoc/de-de/000402373/poweredge-server-bios-update-guidelines-for-microsoft-secure-boot-certificates?lang=en

It should work, can you confirm?

Thanks

Followup question: That article states it is only valid for Windows Server. Will there be an article for Redhat too? The official article https://access.redhat.com/articles/7128933 says to wait for official guidence by the hardware vendor.

Hi, Dell has not yet published a RHEL‑specific Secure Boot article. However, Red Hat has confirmed that current RHEL systems will continue to boot after the certificate expiration, and new shims signed with the 2023 certificate will be provided in supported releases. We will monitor Dell’s documentation, and as soon as they release Linux‑specific guidance, we will share it.
