• Redirect HTTP to HTTPS—Redirects management HTTP access attempts
on the HTTP port to the HTTPS port. This field is available only when HTTP
access is disabled.
STEP 4 Click Save. The changes are saved to the Startup Configuration.
To use HTTPS services, the WAP device must have a valid SSL certificate. The
WAP device can generate a certificate or you can download it from your network
or from a TFTP server.
To generate the certificate with the WAP device, click Generate SSL Certificate.
This should be done after the WAP device has acquired an IP address to ensure
that the common name for the certificate matches the IP address of the WAP
device. Generating a new SSL certificate restarts the secure web server. The
secure connection does not work until the new certificate is accepted on the
browser.
In the Certificate File Status area, you can view whether a certificate currently
exists on the WAP device, and view this information about it:
• Certificate File Present
• Certificate Expiration Date
• Certificate Issuer Common Name
If an SSL certificate (with a .pem extension) exists on the WAP device, you can
download it to your computer as a backup. In the Download SSL Certificate (From
Device to PC) area, select HTTP or TFTP for the Download Method and click
Download.
• If you select HTTP, you are prompted to confirm the download and then to
browse to the location to save the file on your network.
• If you select TFTP, additional fields appear to enable you to enter the File
Name to assign to the downloaded file, and enter the TFTP server address
where the file will be downloaded.
You can also upload a certificate file (with a .pem extension) from your computer to
the WAP device. In the Upload SSL Certificate (From PC to Device) area, select
HTTP or TFTP for the Upload Method.
• For HTTP, browse to the network location, select the file, and click Upload.
