The ADDM appliance doesn't give you a choice and BMC can't answer that question.

I generated my own on the command line, replaced their key and got a cert from 
versign and did it that way.  Kind of a work around, but it seems to work.  Not 
sure if it's supported.

** At what level did you create the key? 512? 1024? 2048? initially

I've posted on the tideway forum as well, but I wanted to see if anyone here 
might be using ADDM and have seen this same issue.


We have been looking for a solution to this one for several days and haven't 
found one. When we use the https option under Administration to generate a csr, 
when we upload it to Verisign to get a cert, we get an error:
Error 600d - Weak key
The submitted CSR contains a weak key.

For all non-Extended Validation certificates, a minimum 768-bit key is 
required. 1024-bit or greater is strongly recommended.

For 1-year Extended Validation certificates requested by December 31, 2009, a 
minimum 1024-bit key is required. A 2048-bit or stronger key is strongly 
recommended. After December 31, 2009, a 2048-bit or stronger key is required 
for all EV certificates.

For 2-year Extended Validation certificates, a minimum 2048-bit key is required.

I changed the default bits in /usr/tideway/etc/https/openssl.conf from 1024 to 
2048 and it didn't help (I restarted httpd and the application after doing 
that).
[ req ]
default_bits = 2048

We've changed ssl.conf from
SSLCipherSuite ALL:!ADH:!EXPORT:!SSLv2:RC4+RSA:+HIGH:+MEDIUM:+LOW
to
SSLCipherSuite ALL:!ADH:!EXPORT:!SSLv2:RC4+RSA:+HIGH:!MEDIUM:!LOW
and then restarted the appliance after doing this. No dice.

Anyone know how to fix this? Or what command ADDM runs when it generates this 
csr?
