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 CMC.

To run this subcommand, you must have the Configure iDRAC permission.

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 local and remote RACADM.

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 iDRAC.Security group. For example: 
     racadm set iDRAC.security.commonname MyCompany
  • NOTE: In Telnet/SSH console, you can only generate and not download the CSR file.
