HP UX Direry Server manual Working with SSL

NOTE:

The Admin Server administrator username and password are stored in the /etc/opt/dirsrv/ admin-serv/admpw file. For example:

admin:{SHA}W6ph5Mm5Pz8GgiULbPgzG37mj9g=

The password is encrypted and cannot be changed directly in the admpw file. The username can be changed in this file, but cannot be used to log into the Console unless the password is updated in the Console first. For this reason, it is better to edit the Administration Server Administrator username and password only through the Admin Server Console.

To change the Administration Server Administrator's ID or password:

1.Open the Admin Server management window.

2.Click the Configuration tab.

3.Click the Access tab.

4.Change the admin user's name or password. The username is the ID given for logging into the Admin Server.

5.Click Save.

2.8Working with SSL

The Admin Server can run over HTTPS (secure HTTP) if SSL is enabled on the server. There are steps to enabling SSL:

1.Generating and submitting a certificate request.

2.Receiving and installing the certificate.

3.Trusting the certificate authority (CA) which issued the certificate.

4.Changing the Admin Server configuration to allow SSL connections.
