Using the APC Security Wizard

Overview

Authentication

Authentication verifies the identity of a user or a network device (such as an APC Network Management Card). Passwords typically identify computer users. However, for transactions or communications requiring more stringent security methods on the Internet, the Network Management Card supports more secure methods of authentication.

Secure Socket Layer (SSL), used for secure Web access, uses digital certificates for authentication. A digital CA root certificate is issued by a Certificate Authority (CA) as part of a public key infrastructure, and its digital signature must match the digital signature on a server certificate on the Network Management Card.

Secure SHell (SSH), used for remote terminal access to the Network Management Card’s control console, uses a public host key for authentication rather than a digital certificate.
