Option Description
access
To activate changes to any of these selections, log off from the NMC:
•Disable: Disables access to the user interface. (To re-enable access, log in to the command line
interface, then type the command http -S enable. For HTTPS access, type https -S
enable.)
•Enable HTTP/ Enable HTTPS: HTTP does not encrypt user names, passwords, and data during
transmission whereas HTTPS does. It also authenticates the NMC by digital certificate.
See “Creating and Installing Digital Certificates” in the Security Handbook on the Network Management
Card Utility CD to choose among the several methods for using digital certificates.
For the HTTP and HTTPS ports, you can change the port setting to any unused port from 5000 to 327 68
for additional security. Users must then use a colon (:) in the address field of the browser to specify the
port number. For example, for a port number of 5000 and an IP address of 152.214.12.114:
http://152.214.12.114:5000
https://152.214.12.114:5000
ssl
certificate
Add, replace, or remove a security certificate.
Status :
•Not installed: A certificate is not installed, or was installed by FTP or SCP to an incorrect location.
Using Add or Replace Certificate File installs the certificate to the correct location,
/ssl on the Network Management Card.
��Generating: The Network Management Card is generating a certificate because no valid certificate
was found.
•Loading: A certificate is being activated on the NMC.
•Valid certificate: A valid certificate was installed or was generated by the NMC. Click on this link to
view the contents of the certificate.
If you install an invalid certificate, or if no certificate is loaded when you enable SSL, the NMC
generates a default certificate, a process which delays access to the interface for up to one minute. You
can use the default certificate for basic encryption-based security, but a security alert message displays
whenever you log on.
Add or Replace Certificate File: Enter or browse to the certificate file created with the Security
Wizard.
See “Creating and Installing Digital Certificates” in the Security Handbook on the Network Management
Card Utility CD to choose a method for using digital certificates created by the Security Wizard or
generated by the NMC.
Remove: Delete the current certificate.
