SSL
The Secure Socket Layer protocol was created by Netscape to ensure secure
transactions between web servers and browsers. The protocol uses a third
party, a Certificate Authority (CA), to identify one end or both end of the
transactions.
Using MegaRAC GUI, configure SSL certificate into the BMC. Using this,
the device can be accessed in a secured mode.
To open SSL Certificate Configuration page, click Configuration > SSL
from the main menu. There are three tabs in this page.
