Management and Security

A CMA system operating in maximum security mode offers a Management and Security workflow. The following sections describe the changes.

Server Software Upgrade

The Server Software Upgrade workflow on a CMA system operating in maximum security mode has not changed.

Certificate Management

Because a CMA system operating in maximum security mode always operates in encrypted mode, the Use HTTPS is not an option on the Certificate Management page.

By default, to support encrypted communications and establish a minimum level of trust, the CMA system includes a default key and self-signed certificate. However, to implement a full certificate chain to a root certificate authority (CA), a CMA system requires both a root CA certificate and a identity server certificate signed by the root CA. Therefore, at some time you must request these certificates from your CA. The question is when.

You must install the root CA certificate during First Time Setup. However, you can complete First Time Setup with just the root CA certificate and the CMA system default self-signed certificate. Then you can use the Certificate Management page to finish certificate set up.
