8.2 Secure Remote Web Interface Access
The SpeedTouch™ supports secure HTTP or HTTPS. The Transport Layer Security
(prior SSL implemented by Netscape) provides communications privacy over the
Internet. The protocol allows client/server applications to communicate in a way
that is designed to prevent eavesdropping, tampering, or message forgery.
The primary goal of the TLS Protocol is to provide privacy and data integrity
between two communicating applications.
When booting, the SpeedTouch™ verifies if a certificate exists for remote
management. If no certificate is found, the SpeedTouch™ generates its own
certificate. When the SpeedTouch™ receives an HTTPs request on port 443, it
transmits this certificate to the client. The client can either accept of refuse the
server identity. Depending on client implementation, the end-user is prompted
whether or not to trust the server.
When a web user logs in or tries to log in the SpeedTouch™, a syslog message is
generated. This message indicates the user name and the underlying protocol
(HTTP or HTTPS)
After negotiating the cipher between the two peers involved in the TLS protocol,
data is encrypted for further communications. The minimum level of security
required for the connection is indicated by each peer. If the minimum requirement
of each peer cannot be achieved, the connection is closed.
Use the following CLI command to see the default HTTPs service configuration.
