When working on a customer’s E-Series system to configure LDAP, you realize that you need to complete a Certificate Signing Request to receive a certificate. In this scenario, when entering the information for the CSR, what information do you need from the controllers themselves? (Choose three.)

Answer options

Correct Answer:

C, D, E

Explanation

When generating a Certificate Signing Request (CSR) within NetApp SANtricity System Manager for an E-Series system, you must provide information to build the certificate's identity. This includes the controller's Common Name (CN), which is typically its Fully Qualified Domain Name (FQDN). It also requires geographical information, such as the Country, State/Province, and Locality. Finally, to ensure the certificate is valid for all access methods, you must specify Subject Alternative Names (SANs), which can include other DNS names or IP addresses for the controllers. These fields are standard components of a CSR used by a Certificate Authority to issue a valid certificate for secure communications like LDAP.

Why Incorrect

A. the controller’s alternate IP addresses: This is too specific. The correct field is "alternate names," which is a broader category that can include IP addresses as well as other hostnames.

B. the controller’s serial number: The hardware serial number is a physical identifier and is not a standard field required when generating a CSR for a web management interface.

Section: "Manage certificates". The guide details the "Generate Certificate Signing Request" dialog box

which explicitly requires the following fields:

Common Name

Organization

Organizational Unit

Locality (City)

State/Province

Country

Subject Alternative Names

This directly supports the requirement for Common Name (D)

geographical location (C)

and alternate names (E). The document can be accessed via the NetApp Support Site documentation library.
