Creating SSL certificate for smart ups sc 450

[Anonymous user]

I am trying to create a certificate to import into a sc 450 ups. I am using the security wizard and after I go through my CA and create the .cer file when I try to import the signed certificate I get the following message 'Error importing cert, code: -32'. Any ideas what that message means?

Hi,

There is some information on this error here: http://www.apc.com/us/en/faqs/FA285378

We are actively working on a problem specific to using Microsoft Certificate Authority also.

But, this APC Security Wizard tool you're using is only for use with APC Network Management Cards. As far as I know, a SC450 Smart-UPS works with PowerChute Business Edition as it does not have a SmartSlot where you can install an APC Network Management Card.

For importing a SSL Certificate for use with PowerChute Business Edition, I think these instructions apply: http://www.apc.com/us/en/faqs/FA165288

Steve - Can you verify the exact model SC450 you have?

If I log into the UPS and look at the About page the model is listed as a Smart-UPS SC450 RM. It has firmware version 736.1.D. I know they use a self signed ssl cert and I guess I could use that but when I turn https on I get a mismatch error.

Hi,

The interface is the PowerChute Business Edition Agent and the instruction as to how to change the certificate are in FAQ FA165288.

Is there a Step by step process now that 

Updating over 500+ Certificates on Smart UPS's

Looking for the Process and if there is now to update these Smare UPS's in bulk rather than manually per UPS.

Any help would be greatly appreciated
