Hi,
I am trying to replace the self signed SSL certificate on a NetBotz 250 and the instructions in the 03/2021 User Guide on page 105 are severely lacking in useful detail. 😞
There is no option within the NetBotz 250 web UI to generate a new private key and CSR for signing by my Enterprise CA, so I used OpenSSL to generate them instead. I have signed the CSR with my Enterprise CA (Windows Server 2019 CA - using the 'Web Server' Template) and I now have a Base64 certificate.
Question 1: What is the supported file format to upload - as the "chose file" does not give any clues.
Question 2: How do I package the signed certificate and the private key?
Question 3: Should I be using the "APC Security Wizard" to upload the certificate/key pair to the NetBotz 250? If so, please can you confirm support version I should use?
Firmware/App Version:
Schneider Electric Network Management Card AOS v6.8.2
(c) Copyright 2019 All Rights Reserved NETBOTZ 250 APP v6.8.0
Thanks

<rant> I'll start by saying that I am disappointed in APC/Schneider for the inexcusably poor documentation on this subject. Whoever 'wrote' and signed off the 3/2021 NetBotz 250 User Guide should hang their collective heads in shame. You are supposedly professionals developing premium product, so please put more effort into the documentation. </rant>
After much searching I have worked out what page 105 "SSL Certificates" in the above mentioned guide should actually say.
This forum does not allow uploading of PDF's, so I have had to convert my PDF into PNG's in order to convey the steps needed. I will put the two NMCSecurityWizardCLI commands in as text at the bottom (after the white space of page #3)
NMCSecurityWizardCLI --csr -o apc-netbotz-250 -n apc-netbotz-250.mydomain.local -c GB -m "My County" -l "My Town" -g "My Organisation" -u "My Organisational Unit" -e myemail@mydomain.com -i https://apc-netbotz-250.mydomain.local -d apc-netbotz-250.mydomain.local -a 10.10.1.101 -k 2048
NMCSecurityWizardCLI --import -o apc-netbotz-250_p15cert -s apc-netbotz-250.cer -p apc-netbotz-250
