Hello,
In the past when I generated a CSR from an iLO, it would include the HOSTNAME as a subject alternative name for the certificate (non-FQDN format). So if my server is SERVERX and my domain is MYDOMAIN.COM, it would generate a CSR with these names:
serverx.mydomain.com
serverx
Howerver, this is no longer the case. Being the lazy admin that I am , I usually just connect to the iLO via the hostname instead of the FQDN. In the past, this was fine since the hostname was in the Subject Alternative Name - but this is now broken and I get a CERT error when I connect not using the FQDN.
Did something change with the ILO firmware that makes is so this is no longer being generated? I am using an iLO 4 with 2.22 and 2.20 (ProLiant Gen9) - I have not tried the lasted firmware yet (which I think is 2.30). I am pretty sure nothing changed with our CA - but I am not a expert in this area, so I really dont know for sure. I am using the template I have used for years from our CA.
Thanks
NK
