TeraStation User Manual 104
• SSL Key
Note:
This procedure is described for network administrators and advanced users. Do not try to congure this unless you
know exactly what you’re doing.
You may use encrypted keys such as https and FTPS for the Web Admin interface operations and FTP connections.
SSL (Secure Socket Layer) is a public key encryption method. SSL operation is managed by 2 les:
(1) server.crt (SSL Certicate)
TeraStation will send this certicate to other computers, which will use it as a key for encryption. The TeraStation will
then receive encrypted data and use the server.key (SSL Key) to decrypt them.
This key includes Server Certicate on SSL, and your PC may decide if the certicate can be trusted or not. Your
computer may display the message “There is a problem with the site’s security certicate.”
(2) server.key (SSL Key)
This is used to decrypt data encrypted by the server certicate.
Note:
Prepare the decrypted passphrase for the server.key (SSL Key).
Updating SSL Key
To update a server certicate and a private key for SSL, follow the procedure below.
In the 1 Web Admin interface, navigate to [Network] - [Settings] - [Network Services] - [Add/Edit SSL Key].
Register server.key for [SSL Key] and server.crt for [SSL Certicate], then click [Import].2
Note:
Save SSL key les (server.key and server.crt) on the root of Drive C. They should not be saved in a folder or path whose
name includes multi-byte or special characters.
You’ve updated the SSL key.
Notes:
• The SSL key should not be password protected.
• If the Web Admin interface isn’t accessible after updating, initialize the TeraStation.
• Updating the rmware will initialize an SSL key.
