Use of Web Server Certificates and SSH Server-Side Keys

Oracle ILOM arrives preconfigured with SSL self-signed certificate and a set of generated SSH server-side keys, which enable Oracle ILOM to ensure the authenticity of a server or client. In addition to the SSL certificates and SSH server side key support, Oracle ILOM, as of firmware version 5.0, enables administrators to store up to five server certificates to validate outgoing HTTPS connections.

Administrators can optionally choose to use the out-of-box self-signed web server certificate or upload a signed web server certificate to Oracle ILOM. The generated SSH server-side keys can be regenerated as needed, and the outgoing HTTPS server certificates can be uploaded as required to help prevent man-in-the-middle attacks.
