Fix Recommendation

The System Administrator must order a DoD PKI to replace the IBM Certificate and then the System Administrator must use the Hardware Management Console Certificate Management Task to install it.

Note: This only applies to networked HMCs.

Check Contents

The System Reviewer will have the System Administrator use the Hardware Management Console Certificate Management Task to validate that the private key and certificate shipped with any network-connected HMC from IBM was replaced with an approved DoD- authorized Certificate.
