Configuring the SRX550 High Memory Services Gateway Using J-Web

Configuring Root Authentication

Copyright © 2016, Juniper Networks, Inc.
Without SSL encryption, communication between your services gateway and the browser
is sent in the open and can be intercepted. We recommend that you enable HTTPS access
on your WAN interfaces.
On services gateways, HTTP access is enabled by default on the built-in management
interfaces. By default, HTTPS access is supported on any interface with an SSL server
certificate.
You can use the J-Web interface or the CLI to configure secure Web access.
Before you configure secure Web access for the first time, you must complete the following
tasks:
Establish basic connectivity.
Obtain an SSL certificate from a trusted signing authority.
For more details about configuring secure web access on your services gateway, see the
Installation and Upgrade Guide for Security Devices
