Reset Certificates

This menu option enables you to clear the certificate sent by the DSView software to the DSR switch.

When a DSR switch is added to a server running DSView software, a certificate is downloaded from that server to the DSR switch automatically. That certificate is replicated across all servers running DSView software operating in a predefined system. Thereafter, any of the servers in that system will be able to communicate with the DSR switch.

If the server running DSView software cannot contact the DSR switch to add the certificate, an error message is displayed and the DSR switch is not added to the database.

Secure Mode

The DSR switch operates in one of two modes: Security disabled or Security enabled.

In Security disabled mode, the DSR switch allows any server running DSView software to communicate with it.

In Security enabled mode, an initial server running DSView software is allowed to download a certificate to the switch. If that server is part of a system that replicates certificates, it will pass the certificate to the other servers in that certificate replication system. Thereafter, all servers in that system will be allowed to access the DSR switch. All servers that are not part of that system will be locked out.

When the DSR switch is removed from the DSView software database, the certificate is removed from the DSR switch. This enables you to move the DSR switch from one certificate
