Secure Socket Layer (SSL)/Transport Layer Security (TLS)

For secure Web communication, you enable Secure Socket Layer (SSL)

and Transport Layer Security (TLS) by selecting HTTPS (SSL/TLS) as the

protocol mode to use for access to the Web interface of the Network

Management Card. Hypertext Transfer Protocol over Secure Socket Layer

(HTTPS) is a Web protocol that encrypts and decrypts page requests from

the user and pages that are returned by the web server to the user.

Originally developed by Netscape, it has become an internet standard

supported by most Web browsers.

The Network Management Card supports SSL version 3.0 and TLS version

1.0. Most browsers let you select the version of SSL to enable.

When SSL is enabled, your browser displays the lock icon,

usually at the bottom of the screen.

SSL uses a digital certificate to enable the browser to authenticate the

server (in this case, the Network Management Card). The browser verifies

the following:

• The format of the server certificate is correct.

• The server certificate’s expiration date and time has not passed.

• The DNS name or IP address specified when a user logs on matches

the common name in the server certificate.

• The server certificate is signed by a trusted certifying authority.

Each major browser manufacturer distributes CA root certificates of the

commercial Certificate Authorities in the certificate store (cache) of its

browser so that it can compare the signature on the server certificate to the

signature on a CA root certificate.

You can use the APC Security Wizard, provided on the APC Network

Management Card utility CD, to create a certificate signing request to an
