Configuring Https; Table 3-6 Https System Support - Samsung iES4028F Management Manual

Configuring HTTPS

You can configure the switch to enable the Secure Hypertext Transfer Protocol
(HTTPS) over the Secure Socket Layer (SSL), providing secure access (i.e., an
encrypted connection) to the switch's web interface.
Command Usage
• Both the HTTP and HTTPS service can be enabled independently on the switch.
However, you cannot configure both services to use the same UDP port. (HTTP
can only be configured through the CLI using the ip http secure-server command
described on page 4-124.)
• If you enable HTTPS, you must indicate this in the URL that you specify in your
browser: https://device[:port_number]
• When you start HTTPS, the connection is established in this way:
- The client authenticates the server using the server's digital certificate.
- The client and server negotiate a set of security protocols to use for the
connection.
- The client and server generate session keys for encrypting and decrypting data.
• The client and server establish a secure encrypted connection.
A padlock icon should appear in the status bar for Internet Explorer 5.x or above,
Netscape 6.2 or above, and Mozilla Firefox 2.0.0.0 or above.
• The following web browsers and operating systems currently support HTTPS:
Web Browser
Internet Explorer 5.0 or later
Netscape 6.2 or later
Mozilla Firefox 2.0.0.0 or later
• To specify a secure-site certificate, see "Replacing the Default Secure-site
Certificate" on page 3-78.
