SSL Certificates

A valid SSL certificate is required to support the encryption services

 

available on the 3Com Email Firewall. The SSL encrypted channel from

 

the server to the web browser (such as when using a URL that begins

 

with https), requires a valid digital certificate. You can use self-signed

 

certificates generated by the 3Com Email Firewall, or import certificates

 

purchased from commercial Certificate Authorities (CA) such as Verisign.

 

The disadvantage of self-signed certificates is that web browsers will

 

display warnings that the "company" (in this case, the 3Com Email

 

Firewall) issuing the certificate is untrusted. When you purchase a

 

commercial certificate, the browser will recognize the company that

 

signed the certificate and will not generate the warning messages.

 

A web server digital certificate can only contain one domain name, such

 

as server.example.com, and a limitation in the SSL protocol only allows

 

one certificate per IP address. Some web browsers will display a warning

 

message when trying to connect to any domain on the server that has a

 

different domain name than the server specified in the single certificate.

 

Digital certificates eventually expire and are no longer valid after a certain

 

period of time, and need to be renewed before the expiry date.
