sslcsrgen


Description	Generates and downloads a CSR file to the client’s local file system. The CSR can be used for creating a custom SSL certificate that can be used for SSL transactions on iDRAC.
Synopsis	racadm sslcsrgen [-g] [-f <filename>] racadm sslcsrgen -s
Input	-g — Generates a new CSR. -s — Returns the status of a CSR generation process (generation in progress, active, or none). -f — Specifies the filename of the location, <filename>, where the CSR is downloaded. NOTE If the -f option is not specified, the filename defaults to sslcsr in your current directory.
Output	If no options are specified, a CSR is generated and downloaded to the local file system as sslcsr by default. The -g option cannot be used with the -s option, and the -f option can only be used with the -g option. The sslcsrgen -s subcommand returns one of the following status codes: CSR was generated successfully. CSR does not exist.
Example	racadm sslcsrgen -s or racadm sslcsrgen -g -f c:\csr\csrtest.txt

NOTE Before a CSR can be generated, the CSR fields must be configured in the RACADM cfgRacSecurity group. For example: racadm config -g cfgRacSecurity -o cfgRacSecCsrCommonName MyCompany

NOTE In telnet/ssh console, you can only generate and not download the CSR file.

NOTE The duration for generating a CSR key depends on the length specified for the key.
