You can also configure DSView 3 software security settings. When the virtual console server is
managed by the DSView 3 software, the DSView 3 server will supply the certificate to the
virtual console server. Under normal conditions, the DSView 3 software will manage the
certificate to clear and replace it with a new certificate as needed. If communication with the
DSView 3 software is lost, the DSView server will be unable to clear the certificate and the
virtual console server cannot be used. Click the Clear DSView Certificate button to configure
the virtual console server in Trust All mode.
To configure DSView 3 software security settings:
1. Select System - Security - DSView.
