Managing the Firebox X Edge or SOHO Device

Troubleshooting ideas

Use these steps to troubleshoot Netscape certificates:
• Make sure that you have the st rong encryption (128-bit) version of Netscape.
• Make sure that you have the co rrect password for the .p12 (or .pfx) file. This must be the
configuration passphrase of the Firebox DVCP server.
• Make sure that the certifica te is not zero (0) length. If it is, erase the f ile and disconnect from
System Manager. Open System Manager and make the certificate again.
Managing the Firebox X Edge or SOHO Device
After you import the correct certificate in your browser, you can start to use System Manager to connect
to a Firebox® X Edge, SOHO 6, or SOHO 5 to monitor and configure it.
You cannot use the same browser window to connect to the Edge or SOHO management pages as the one
you use to configure access to the Certificate Authority. You must close the Certificate Au thority window
before you try to configure an Edge or SOHO from System Manager.
Refer to your Firebox X Ed ge or Firebox SOHO User Guide f or more detailed informat ion about configur-
ing these devices.
