options. Use Soft-PKs comprehensive online help for detailed

Certificate Manager
The Certificate Manager allows you to request, import, and store
the digital certificates received from certificate authorities (CAs). To
communicate securely using digital certificates, users must have
two digital certificates: a CA (or self-signed firewall) certificate and
a personal certificate.
Security Policy Editor
The Security Policy Editor allows you to create connection policies
and their associated proposals and list them in a hierarchical order
that defines an IP data communications security policy.
Log Viewer
The Log Viewer displays the communications log, a diagnostic tool
that lists the IKE negotiations that occur during the authentication
phase.
Connection Monitor
The Connection Monitor displays statistical and diagnostic informa-
tion for each active connection in the security policy. This utility is
designed to display the actual security policy settings configured in
the Security Policy Editor and the security association (SA) infor-
mation established during Phase 1 IKE negotiations and Phase 2
IPSec negotiations.
