Integrated Dell Remote Access Controller 8 (iDRAC8) and iDRAC7 Version 2.10.10.10 RACADM Command Line Interface Reference Guide

sslcsrgen

Description	Generates and downloads a certificate signing request (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 CMC. To run this subcommand, you must have the Configure chassis administrator privilege.
Synopsis	racadm sslcsrgen -g 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. The `-f` option is only supported on the remote interface(s).
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	Display current status of CSR operation: racadm sslcsrgen -s or racadm sslcsrgen -g -f c:\csr\csrtest.txt Generate and download a CSR to local filesystem: racadm -r 192.168.0.120 -u root -p calvin sslcsrgen -g -f csrtest.txt

NOTE: Before a CSR can be generated, the CSR fields must be configured in the RACADM config —g cfgracsecurity group. For example:
```
 racadm config -g cfgracsecurity -o cfgRacSecCsrCommonName cmc-effort.cmc.com
```

NOTE: In Telnet or SSH console, you can only generate and not download the CSR file.
