Switched Rack PDU
130
– The server certificate that you upload to the Rack PDU enables SSL
to authenticate that data are being received from and sent to the
correct Rack PDU. This provides an extra level of security beyond
the encryption of the user name, password, and transmitted data.
– The root certificate that you install to the browser enables the
browser to authenticate the Rack PDU’s server certificate to provide
additional protection from unauthorized access.
• Disadvantage:
Because the certificates do not have the digital signature of a
commercial Certificate Authority, you must load a root certificate
individually into the certificate store (cache) of each user’s
browser. (Browser manufacturers already provide root certificates
for commercial Certificate Authorities in the certificate store within
the browser. See Method 3.)
