HP VCX Software manual Configuration via Https

Chapter 6. Basic Configuration

This is the IP address and port which should be entered in your web browser to connect to the Telecommuting Module.

For configuration via ssh, you need an ssh client to log on to the Telecommuting Module.

Configuration via HTTP

Select which IP address and port the Telecommuting Module administrator should direct her web browser to when HTTP is used for Telecommuting Module configuration. You can select from the Telecommuting Module IP addresses configured on the Interface pages under Network Configuration.

You can use different IP addresses for HTTP, HTTPS, and SSH configuration.

Configuration via HTTPS

Select which IP address and port the Telecommuting Module administrator should direct her web browser to when HTTPS is used for Telecommuting Module configuration. You can select from the Telecommuting Module IP addresses configured on the Interface pages under Network Configuration.

You can use different IP addresses for HTTP, HTTPS, and SSH configuration.

You also need to select an X.509 certificate, which works as an ID card, identifying the Telecommuting Module to your web browser. This will ensure that you are really commu- nicating with your Telecommuting Module and not somebody else’s computer. HTTPS uses an encryption method using two keys, one secret and one public. The secret key is kept in the Telecommuting Module and the public key is used in the certificate. If any of the keys is changed, the HTTPS connection won’t work.

All local certificates for the Telecommuting Module are created on the Certificates page under Basic Configuration.
