I'm trying to sort out the ssl certificate errors that we get when trying to manage our HP c7000 blade enclosures. To that end I have created a signing certificate and imported it into the browser. In Onboard Administrator I created a certificate signing request, which I signed with my CA and then uploaded the certificate. This worked perfectly, and I no longer get any SSL errors when connection to Onboard Administrator.The problem comes when trying to connect through Onboard Administrator to the iLo on the blades themselves.
HP ProLiant Lights Out-100. For HP ProLiant ML110 G6, ML150 G6, DL120 G6, DL160 G6, DL160se G6, DL170h G6, DL180 G6. This guide explains the standard and optional operational features of the HP Onboard Administrator. And HP ProLiant DL165 and SL165z G7 servers. I am on a closed HP ILO network, and I am trying to access the web interface (https) of a HP c7000 Onboard Administrator (though I do not believe this is an issue specific to the equipment) through Internet Explorer (8 and 9). From what I gather, the site uses a self-signed certificate.
Done by clicking on the 'Web Administration' link. Onboard Administrator links to the blade with it's IP address rather than host name. But the certificate signing request that iLo creates uses the host name. Even when this certificate is signed the browser still complains it is for the wrong domain.I either need to be able to get Onboard Administrator to connect to the blades using host name rather than IP address, or get a certificate signing request which contains the IP address as the CN rather than the host name.
It doesn't particularly matter which. Does anybody know how to configure this?
