Date & Time - Axis Video Server User Manual

Notes:
•If the referrals feature is enabled and you wish to also allow normal access to the Live View
page, the product's own IP address or host name must be added to the list of allowed referrers.
•Restricting referrers has no effect on an MPEG-4 video stream. To restrict an MPEG-4 stream, IP
address filtering must be enabled.
•Restricting referrers is of greatest value when not using IP address filtering. If IP address filter-
ing is used, then the allowed referrers are automatically restricted to those allowed IP
addresses.
HTTPS
For greater security, the Axis video server can be configured to use HTTPS (Hypertext
Transfer Protocol over SSL (Secure Socket Layer)). That is, all communication that would
otherwise go via HTTP will instead go via an encrypted HTTPS connection.
Certificate - to use HTTPS for communication with the Axis video server, a Certificate
must be created using one of these methods:
• A self-signed certificate can be created in the video server, but this does not guar-
antee the same level of security as an official certificate.
• An official certificate issued by a CA (Certificate Authority). A CA issues and
manages security credentials and public keys for message encryption.
1. Click either Create self-signed certificate or Create Certificate Request and enter
the required information in the provided fields
2. Click OK.
3. Create self-signed certificate generates and installs a certificate which will be
displayed under Installed Certificate.
Create Certificate Request generates a PEM formatted request which you copy
and send to a CA for signing. When the signed certificate is returned, click Install
signed certificate... to install the certificate in the Axis video server.
4. Set the HTTPS Connection Policy for the administrator, Operator and Viewer to
enable HTTPS connection (set to HTTP by default)
Please refer to the home page of your preferred CA for information on where to send the
request etc. For more information, please see the online help
