Note
The Series 4100GL switches use Secure Socket Layer Version 3 (SSLv3) and support for Transport Layer Security(TLSv1) to provide remote web access to the switches via encrypted paths between the switch and management station clients capable of SSL/TLS operation.
ProCurve Switches use SSL and TLS for all secure web transactions, and all references to SSL mean using one of these algorithms unless otherwise noted
SSL provides all the web functions but, unlike standard web access, SSL provides encrypted, authenticated transactions. The authentication types include:
■Server Certificate authentication with User Password Authentication
SSL in the HP Procurve Series 4100GL switches is based on the OpenSSL software toolkit. For more information on OpenSSL, visit http:// www.openssl.com.
Server Certificate authentication with User PasswordAuthentication . This option is a subset of full certificate authentication of the user and host . It occurs only if the switch has SSL enabled. As in figure
