Anyone who connects via HTTPS to the NSA must install the public key certificate
associated with it.
Note: The NSA will restart the web configurator after you click Apply.
The NSA displays a warning screen if applying your change may disconnect some
users. Click Apply if you want to continue.
Install System Default CA Click Download button to save a copy of the NSA’s public key certificate to your

connect to the NSA, or for sending by email to other users for them to install prior
to logging into the NSA for the first time. After saving the certificate to your
computer, double-click it to install it.
Note: Each web browser handles certificate installation differently. See Appendix D
on page 407 for more information.

external access.

instructions to install a certificate that has been authorized by a third-party

users to connect through the Internet using FTP over TLS or HTTPs.
