Certificate verification

In order to establish a secure connection between UEMCLI and its backend server, a Public Key infrastructure (PKI) is used. An important component of PKI, is certificate verification. Certificate verification provides a way for a user to verify the backend server being contacted.

When UEMCLI connects to a server requesting a secure connection, the server sends its identification in the form of a digital certificate. The certificate usually contains the following:

  • Server name
  • Trusted certificate authority (CA)
  • Server's public encryption key.

The UEMCLI client may contact the server that issued the certificate (the trusted CA) and confirm the validity of the certificate before proceeding. When the certificate is verified, UEMCLI and its backend server will establish the connection and begin to exchange data.

Certificate verification level

The setlevel.sh script is used to set the certificate verification level to low or medium after the RPM package has been installed:

lowThe certificate verification process will not be used to access the array.
medium (default)The certificate verification process will be used to access the array.

Run the following command:

/opt/emc/uemcli/bin/setlevel.sh (low|medium|l|m)

Then follow the prompts. The tool will guide you through the steps to set the security level.
