SSL
SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) is a protocol that provides security and
privacy over the Internet by negotiating encryption keys before
transmitting data between a client and a server.

components, you can establish a secure connection using the SSL
protocol. The DXi4500 comes with a SSL certificate. In addition, you can
purchase other certificates and add them to the DXi4500 SSL
configuration.

certificate in order to take advantage of server authentication in
