access | To activate changes to any of these selections, log off from the Management Card: |
| • Disable: Disables access to the Web interface. (To |
| interface, then type the command http |
| enable.) |
| • Enable HTTP (the default): Enables Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP), which provides Web |
| access by user name and password, but does not encrypt user names, passwords, and data during |
| transmission. |
| • Enable HTTPS: Enables Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTPS) over Secure Sockets Layer (SSL). |
| SSL encrypts user names, passwords, and data during transmission, and authenticates the |
| Management Card by digital certificate. When HTTPS is enabled, your browser displays a small lock |
| icon. |
| See “Creating and Installing Digital Certificates” in the Security Handbook on the APC Network |
| Management Card Utility CD to choose among the several methods for using digital certificates. |
| HTTP Port: The TCP/IP port (80 by default) used to communicate by HTTP with the Management |
| Card. |
| HTTPS Port: The TCP/IP port (443 by default) used to communicate by HTTPS with the |
| Management Card. |
| For either of these ports, you can change the port setting to any unused port from 5000 to 32768 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 | Add, replace, or remove a security certificate. |
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 Management Card. |
| • Valid certificate: A valid certificate was installed or was generated by the Management Card. Click |
| on this link to view the certificate’s contents. |
| If you install an invalid certificate, or if no certificate is loaded when you enable SSL, the |
| Management Card 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 |
| 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 APC Network |
| Management Card Utility CD to choose a method for using digital certificates created by the Security |
| Wizard or generated by the Management Card. |
| Remove: Delete the current certificate. |
