The BMC web application is available via TLS-secured (https) access either directly through port 443 or indirectly through port 80 to 443. ACL rules are not applicable to prevent unsecured (http) access. A sample X.509 certificate which is a copy of the BMC, and EMA certificates are shipped along with the SBC shipment. The size of this certificate is 2,048 bits.
The BMC uses the common local certificate store of the SBC (used also for SIP/TLS) rather than having its own separate certificate store. Certificate with RSA keys up to 4,096 bits are supported. However,

The BMC uses a separate certificate store that is independent from the SBC application certificate store. The SBC application certificate store is also used for SIP over TLS and for accessing EMA over HTTPS. Load private keys and certificates (both server and CA certificates) separately for the BMC and for the SBC application. For more information on managing certificates, refer to Managing Certificates. |
