Unable to upload private ssl key

Hi!

When i try to upload my private sslkey i get an error.

root# /opt/dell/srvadmin/bin/idracadm7 -r <hostname> -uroot -p<password> sslkeyupload -f /etc/certificate/private_key.pem -t 1
Security Alert: Certificate is invalid - self-signed certificate
Continuing execution. Use -S option for racadm to stop execution on certificate-related errors.
rc != 0ERROR: Unable to perform requested operation.

It does not matter if my cert is created with type RSA or ECDSA

I know this happened in the past with older dracs, but this is an idrac9 (Enterprise)with firmware 7.00.00.173 

Cheers,

Moderator

Hi Charles,

The tutorials are nice but with all respect i know how to upload the SSL stuff and create them. It did trigger me that in all those examples the -i flag is used. This is the interactive way and works always.. If you have special characters in your password some strange things happen when providing it with -p That is i think what casued the error i mentioned in this ticket. rc != 0Error
Would be nice to see explained where that error is comming from
