Enabling SSL for the secure Web server
Note: To enable SSL, you must have a valid SSL certificate installed.
Complete the following steps to enable the secure Web server:
1. In the navigation pane, click Security. The page that is displayed looks similar
to the one in the following illustration and shows that a valid SSL server
certificate is installed. If the SSL server certificate status does not show that a
valid SSL certificate is installed, go to “SSL server certificate management” on
page 55.
2. Scroll to the SSL Server Configuration for Web Server area, select Enabled
in the SSL Client field, and then click Save. The selected value takes effect the
next time the Remote Supervisor Adapter II is restarted.
SSL client certificate management
The SSL client requires that a valid certificate and corresponding private encryption
key be installed before SSL is enabled. Two methods are available for generating
the private key and required certificate: using a self-signed certificate, or using a
certificate signed by a certificate authority.
The procedure for generating the private encryption key and certificate for the SSL
client is the same as the procedure for the SSL server, except that you use the SSL
Client Certificate Management area of the Security Web page instead of the SSL
Server Certificate Management area. If you want to use a self-signed certificate
for the SSL client, see “Generating a self-signed certificate” on page 55. If you want
to use a certificate authority signed certificate for the SSL client, see “Generating a
certificate-signing request” on page 56.
