Switched Rack PDU

You can use the APC Security Wizard, provided on the APC Rack Power
Distribution Unit Utility CD that came with your Rack PDU, to create a
certificate signing request to an external Certificate Authority, or if you do
not want to use an existing Certificate Authority, you can create an APC root
certificate to upload to a browser’s certificate store (cache). You can also
use the Wizard to create a server certificate to upload to the Rack PDU.
SSL also uses various algorithms and encryption ciphers to authenticate
the server, encrypt data, and ensure the integrity of the data (i.e,. that it has
not been intercepted and sent by another server).
See Creating and Installing Digital Certificates for a summary of
how these certificates are used.

To create certificates and certificate requests, see Create a Root
Certificate & Server Certificates and Create a Server Certificate

algorithms to use.
