SSL Certificate

The Console Server uses the Secure Socket Layer (SSL) protocol for encrypted network traffic between itself and a connected
user. During the connection establishment the Console Server has to expose its identity to the user's browser using a
cryptographic certificate. The default certificate that comes with the Console Server device upon delivery is for testing purpose
only and should not be relied on for secured global access.
The System Administrator should not rely on the default certificate as the secured global access
mechanism for use through Internet
It is recommended you generate and install a new base64 X.509 certificate that is unique for a particular Console Server.
To do this the Console Server must be enabled to generate a new cryptographic key and the associated Certificate Signing
Request (CSR) that needs to be certified by a Certification Authority (CA). A certification authority verifies that you are the
person who you claim you are, and signs and issues a SSL certificate to you. To create and install a SSL certificate for the
Console Server:
