Abstract
HTTPS Boot is a standard implementation for securely booting a server using UEFI over a network device. HTTPS Boot is especially important for clients using potentially insecure networks outside of corporate infrastructure. Security for UEFI HTTPS Boot is provided by the underlying Transport Layer Security (TLS) protocol.
This document provides a brief introduction to the HTTPS Boot mechanism and provides instructions on setting up the HTTPS Boot server on SUSE Linux Enterprise Server. The paper then describes the process of using HTTPS Boot to install SLES 15 SP3 on a Lenovo® ThinkSystem™ server.
This document assumes that the reader is familiar with the UEFI HTTP Boot Server Setup.
