Server Administrator Web server is configured to use the industry-standard
SSL security protocol to transfer encrypted data over a network. Built
on an asymmetric encryption technology, SSL is widely accepted for
providing authenticated and encrypted communication between clients
and servers to prevent eavesdropping across a network.
An SSL-enabled system can perform the following tasks:
Authenticate itself to an SSL-enabled client
Allow the two systems to establish an encrypted connection
The encryption process provides a high level of data protection.
Server Administrator uses the most secure form of encryption generally
available for Internet browsers in North America.
Server Administrator Web server has a self-signed unique SSL
digital certificate by default. You can replace the default SSL certificate
with a certificate signed by a well-known Certificate Authority (CA).
A Certificate Authority is a business entity that is recognized in
the Information Technology industry for meeting high standards of
reliable screening, identification, and other important security criteria.
Examples of CAs include Thawte and VeriSign. To initiate the process
of obtaining a CA-signed certificate, use the Server Administrator
Web interface to generate a Certificate Signing Request (CSR) with
your company’s information. Then, submit the generated CSR to a CA
such as VeriSign or Thawte. The CA can be a root CA or an intermediate
CA. After you receive the CA-signed SSL certificate, upload the certificate
to Server Administrator.
For each Server Administrator to be trusted by the management station,
the SSL certificate of that Server Administrator must be placed in
the certificate store of the management station. After the SSL certificate
is installed on the management stations, supported browsers can access
Server Administrator without certificate warnings.
