Configuring Ssl; Configuring The Ssl Certificate From The Sm Console - Sun Microsystems Fire V20z Management Manual

Configuring SSL

Set up Web access to the SP with either an encrypted or a non-encrypted
communication method.
By default, all messages between your browser and the SP are encrypted according
to Hypertext Transfer Protocol over Secure Socket Layer (HTTPS). Version 0.9.6j is
supported.
1. Allow browsers to communicate with the SP via non-encrypted messages by one
of the following two methods:
From the command line, use this command:
■
sp disable ssl-required
From the SM Console, select the Optional (disable) or Required (enable) radio
■
buttons from the SSL Certificate configuration page as described in
the SSL Certificate from the SM Console" on page
With SSL disabled, HTTP requests are serviced directly without any redirection to
HTTPS. HTTPS requests continue to be secure.
Note – If you enable the HTTPS protocol, your browser will display a warning
message that states that it cannot verify the validity of the Server Certificate. This
warning is informational and you can ignore it safely. The warning displays because
the Server Certificate that is shipped with the SP is self-signed by Newisys, Inc. To
upload a certificate that is signed by your own organization or by an independent
certificate authority, select User Supplied, as described in
Certificate from the SM Console" on page
2. To revert to the default behavior, use the command:
sp enable ssl-required
With SSL enabled, HTTP requests are redirected automatically to equivalent HTTPS
requests to maintain site security.

Configuring the SSL Certificate from the SM Console

Administrator and manager-level users can enable or disable SSL encryption and
can define the SSL certificate that is used to manage transmission security.
Note – You also can use sp ssl commands to configure the SSL certificate. See
Appendix H of this document or the SM Console online help for details about
commands.
