Setting up SSL encryption
To improve security of remote operations from a Remote Web Console SVP to a storage system, you can
set up Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) encrypted communication. By setting SSL encryption, the Remote
Web Console User ID and Password are encrypted.
NOTE:
•
To add the Secure attribute to Cookie using Remote Web Console, you must block HTTP
communication. For details, see Blocking HTTP communication to the storage system.
•
Remote Web Console supports HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS).
Strict-Transport-Security: max-age=31536000
To enable HSTS, you must use the security certificate issued by a trusted root certificate authority for your
Remote Web Console domain. HSTS is valid for one year (31536000 seconds), and it is renewed
automatically every time the HSTS header is sent to the browser. The security certificate to use is
determined by the browser. For details, contact your browser vendor.
Note the following SSL terms:
•
Secure Sockets Layer: SSL is a protocol first developed by Netscape to securely transmit data over
the Internet. Two SSL-enabled peers use their private and public keys to establish a secure
communication session, with each peer encrypting transmitted data with a randomly generated and
agreed-upon symmetric key.
•
Keypair: A keypair is two mathematically-related cryptographic keys consisting of a private key and its
associated public key.
