Managing Http Ssl Certificates - HP 501 Configuration And Administration Manual

Managing HTTP SSL certificates

When HTTPS access is enabled, the HP 501 must be able to present a Secure Sockets Layer
(SSL) certificate to the web browser of a computer that attempts access to the management tool.
The certificate assures that the browser is accessing the HP 501 with the specified IP address. It
also provides information that the HP 501 and management computer use to encrypt their
communication.
A default certificate is present on the HP 501, based on the default device IP address
192.168.1.1. If you change the HP 501 IP address, you must update the certificate to reflect the
new address; otherwise, a security warning will display at the start of each new management
session. A certificate can also expire, requiring you to obtain a new one.
Viewing information about the current certificate
You can view the following information about the certificate in the Certificate status section
of the Management tool page:
Certificate file present
Indicates whether an HTTP SSL certificate file is present (yes or no).
Certificate expiration date
The date that the HTTP SSL certificate file will expire.
