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, Sonus recommends

Spacevars

 recommends using 2,048 bit certificates.

titleNote

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.

Enter the following URL in the browser to access the SBC BMC GUI:

Code Block

https://<BMC_IP_Address> 

where BMC IP address is the IP address of the BMC GUI.

The BMC also provides the interface which uploads the self-signed certificate to replace the sample X.509 certificates.

    Note

    If you require the BMC to send a certificate chain of SSL certificates instead of its own server certificate only, you must import the intermediate CA and/or root CA certificates together with the SBC server certificate in one file. The file must contain all certificates in .pem format.
