Overview

To use the encryption capabilities of the Nortel SNAS 4050, you must add a key and certificate that conforms to the X.509 standard.

The key and certificate apply to the cluster. It does not matter whether you connect to the Management IP address (MIP) or Real IP address (RIP) of a Nortel SNAS 4050 device in order to manage Secure Socket Layer (SSL) certificates. When you add a key and certificate to one Nortel SNAS 4050 device in the cluster, the information is automatically propagated to all other devices in the cluster.

The Nortel SNAS 4050 can support the use of up to 1500 certificates. However, only one server certificate can be mapped to a portal server at any one time. For information about mapping a certificate to the portal server, see “Configuring SSL settings using the CLI” on page 139 or “Configuring SSL settings using the SREM” on page 176.

If you ran the quick setup wizard during initial setup, a test certificate has been installed and mapped to the Nortel SNAS 4050 portal.
