This process involves two tasks: Generating the CSR and sending it to the CA, and importing the new certificate from the CA.

To install an HTTPS certificate, perform the following:

1. Using SSH or SCP, connect to the NetMRI administrative shell and then run the `configure certificates` command.
2. When prompted to select the certificate type, select **https**.
3. When prompted for an action, choose 1. **Generate CSR**.
4. When prompted to enter information for the CSR, the only required field is **Common Name**. You must enter the IP address or hostname of the NetMRI appliance. All other fields are optional.
5. When the appliance generates the CSR, copy the text, as shown in the example, and paste it into the *Certificate Request* page of the site from which you are requesting a certificate.

`----END CERTIFICATE REQUEST-----`  
  
When you receive the CA-signed certificate, upload it to the appliance and activate it. Note that the certificate must be in PEM format and the file must have a .crt extension.

6. On the** Settings** icon > **General** **Settings** > **Security** page, click the **NetMRI HTTPS Settings** tab.

7. In the **HTTP** **Certificate** section, click **Upload.** A message dialog appears stating the following: "The NetMRI HTTP and HTTPS server settings are about to be updated and the web server restarted. If the NetMRI web server becomes inaccessible as a result of these changes, login to the NetMRI admin shell using SSH and run the command configure http to update the web server settings. Do you wish to proceed?"

8. Click **Yes**.

9. In the **Upload** dialog box, click **Browse.** For the .PEM-format certificate file, select the respective file and then click **Upload**. The **HTTPS Certificate** section updates with the new information.
