In FIPS Mode you can configure access lists but can assign them
only to the SNMP subsystem.
If you have forgotten your access or enable password, you can use a factory-set
password during a serial configuration session. When prompted for a password,
enter FailSafe (case-sensitive). You are asked to confirm the action. The appliance
reboots (reloads) with factory default settings.
All configuration is lost when using the factory default reset.
Before configuring the SSL appliance you must have a certificate and keys for the
server. You can use the files you received from the Certificate Authority, copy the
keys and certificate from an existing secure server, use default keys and
certificates preloaded in the device, or generate your own keys and certificates.
Instructions for exporting keys and certificates from existing server is found in
"Using Existing Keys and Certificates" in Appendix F.
Additionally, be aware that you must make several changes to your Web pages.
The nature of the changes depends upon whether you are securing a previously
unsecured site, or adding the SSL appliance to an already secure server
installation. These changes are described in section "Web Site Changes" in
Appendix B.
