• Configure the ports that each of the two protocols will use.
• Select the encryption ciphers that SSL will use.
• Identify whether a server certificate is installed on the Rack PDU. If a
certificate has been created with the APC Security Wizard but is not
installed:
– In the Web interface, browse to the certificate file and upload it to the
Rack PDU.
– Alternatively, use the Secure CoPy (SCP) protocol or FTP to upload
it to the location \sec on the Rack PDU.
• Display the configured parameters of a digital server certificate, if one
is installed.
See Creating and Installing Digital Certificates to choose
among the several methods for using digital certificates.
Creating and uploading a server certificate in advance reduces
the time required to enable HTTPS (SSL/TLS). If no server
certificate is loaded when you enable HTTPS (SSL/TLS), the
Rack PDU creates one when it reboots. The Rack PDU can
take up to 5 minutes to create this certificate, and the SSL/
TLS server is not available during that time.
