Issue/Introduction

Can you upload a custom certificate to the Powervault Manager web interface?

Environment

Dell Powervault Manager

Dell ME4 storage

Resolution

You can create your own certificate, but it requires the use of FTP.  The following article from Dell shows the steps you need to take to perform the upload.

IMPORTANT:  Do not rename the files before copying them to the storage array.  They must have the .CER(or .PEM) and .KEY extensions for the upload to work correctly.
