Copying certificate information for use in SSMC

Procedure
  1. Access the 3PAR/Primera storage server that contains the certificate information you want to add to SSMC.
  2. Enter the showcert command to view the list of certificates installed in the array.
  3. CLI Service: If a certificate is installed for CLI service, then use CLI for <ssl_service> in step 4, otherwise use unified-server.
  4. Use the showcert -service <ssl_service> -type cert -pem command to display the certificate for export.
  5. Copy the certificate information in between and including the text: 
    -----BEGIN CERTIFICATE----- 
-----END CERTIFICATE-----
  6. Store the certificate information in a text file <ssl_service>.pem and keep it in an accessible location.
  7. WSAPI Service: If a certificate is installed for WSAPI service, then use WSAPI for <ssl_service> in step 4, otherwise use unified-server.
  8. Repeat steps 4 through 6 to export and save WSAPI service trust certificate.
    NOTE:

    The certificate text output from showcert CLI command complies to x.509 standard with PEM encoding. It is important to preserve the exact same text content while importing into SSMC for validation and import to work correctly.

  9. Add the certificate or certificates exported in steps 6 and 8 as mentioned in the preceding steps to SSMC. For more information, see Adding 3PAR/Primera array certificates to SSMC.
