HP SMH allows the setting
of multihomed or multiple names to certificates that are not generated by HP. Through this
functionality, SMHs certificate can contain additional information
for the machine, such as other names in the network and IPs that are
available. In the same way, it is possible to create a request certified
to be signed by a Certificate Authority
(CA).
Two kinds of values are acceptable
as alternative names:
DNS name (for example: Linux;Linux.localdomain)
IP Address (for example: 10.16.165.1;192.168.1.189)
Only users in the Administrator
User Group and System Administrators (root on
Linux and Administrator on Windows) can edit
the Alternative Names fields through
the browser.
The multihomedconfiguration is available by completing the following
steps:
Changes made here to Alternative Names affect only the current certificate.
Select Settings from the menu
In the System Management Homepage box, click the Security link.
Click the Local Server Certificate link.
In the Current
Certificate box, enter a value in the Alternative Names field.
Click [Create].
Click [Yes] and the previous page appears with the message: Success: Value successfully changed.
When this happens, the new certificate
with the alternative names set are negotiated with the browser.
