Secure Management Console Access

Selecting HTTPS Server in System: Services enables the Administrator to establish a secure browser connection
Management Console:
• Activate your preferred browser and enter https:// IP address. For example, if the Console Server has been set up with an
IP address of 200.122.0.12, you need to type https:// 200.122.0.12 in your address bar
• Your browser may respond with a message that verifies the security certificate is valid but notes that it is not necessarily
verified by a certifying authority. To proceed you need to click yes if you are using Internet Explorer or select accept this
certificate permanently (or temporarily) if you are using Mozilla Firefox.
• You will then be prompted for the Administrator account and password as normal.
When you have a secure HTTPS connection in place, the SSL secured icon will appear at the bottom of the browser screen.
You can verify the level of encryption in place by clicking on this icon.
When you first enable and connect via HTTPS, it is normal that you may receive a certificate warning. The default SSL certificate
in your Console Server is embedded during testing and is not signed by a recognized third party certificate authority. Rather, it is
signed by our own signing authority. These warnings do not affect the encryption protection you have against eavesdroppers.
