350CHAPTER 9: MANAGING CERTIFICATES

Processing	When 3WXM client connects to 3WXM Services or to a WX switch that
Certificates	presents a certificate that is unknown to 3WXM client, the Certificate
	Check dialog box appears. The dialog shows information about the
	certificate and allows you to accept or reject the certificate and therefore
	accept or reject the connection.
	Before 3WXM can communicate with the WX switch or 3WXM Services
	over a secure HTTPS connection, you must specify how to deal with the
	certificate required for secure communication
	The options you select in this dialog box apply to all HTTPS connections
	with the 3WXM client. For example, the 3WXM client also checks the
	validity of certificates presented by 3WXM Services, and the settings you
	select in this dialog affect those connections too.

To process a certificate

1If you do not want to see the Certificate Check dialog box each time 3WXM connects to a WX switch, select one of the following options:

„Always accept self-signed certificates. — Use this option to configure the 3WXM client to always accept a self-signed certificate from the 3WXM monitoring service and from WX switches.

„Install this certificate to validate future connections. — Use this option to accept the certificate and consider the certificate to be valid for future connections.

When you use this option, the Certificate Check dialog box is not shown again for the certificate, even if the certificate becomes out of date.

2Do one of the following:

„Click Accept to allow the connection to the WX switch.

If you did not select either of the options in step 1, when you click Accept, a secure connection with these certificate credentials is allowed for this session until you close the network plan.

„Click Reject to reject the connection to the WX switch.
