SECURING A SERVER BEFORE CONNECTING THE SERVER TO A DATA COMMUNICATIONS NETWORK

摘要

Securing a server before connecting the server to a data communications network in a data center may include: establishing a proximity-based communications connection with a service processor of a server, where the server is not coupled to a data communications network; and transmitting, via the proximity-based data communications connection, a digital certificate to the service processor of the server, where the digital certificate is configured to enable access to the server only by a system management server.
