Installing a Web Certificate

A web certificate allows you to enter the on-board web interface on a web browser without having to acknowledge the Remote Console Switch as a trusted web server each time you access the on-board web interface. Using the Install Web Certificate window, you can create a self-signed openssl certificate.

To install a web certificate:

1Click the Tools tab in the on-board web interface. The Tools window appears.

2Click the Install Web Server Certificate button. The Install Web Server Certificate window appears.

b Common Name: your name. (Since this is your root certificate, use an appropriate name such as, "Company_Name Certificate Authority.")

c Organizational Unit (optional): organization unit name (marketing, for example).
