Configuring SSL 3 • Current Certificate Details-Provides current information related to SSL certificates. This part of the page shows the following items: - The public certificate. The same certificate is used for both web and software connections. The certificate contains public information that is not secret. (The certificate has a private counterpart, the SSL private key, which is kept secret and is not displayed.) - The MD5 fingerprint of the certificate. This is the fingerprint of the certificate using the Message Digest 5 (MD5) algorithm. The user can compare the fingerprint here with the fingerprint provided by the web browser to ensure that they match. - SHA-1 fingerprint certificate. This is the fingerprint of the certificate using the SHA-1 algorithm. The user can compare the fingerprint here with the fingerprint provided by the web browser to ensure that they match. NOTE: Browsers can supply the MD5 fingerprint, the SHA-1 fingerprint, or both. • New Certificate-Enables you to generate a new certificate and identify the expiration period for the certificate. • SSL Renegotiation-Enables you to define parameters for renegotiation of the certificate. Use the following procedures to configure SSL certificates: 1. Select Configure > SSL on the navigation panel. The SSL configuration page (Figure 3-12 on page 3-24) displays. 2. To enable or disable Web SSL, click the corresponding Enable and Disable buttons. When enabled, all data sent over a web connection is encrypted. When disabled, no data sent over the connection is encrypted. NOTE: Once Web SSL is enabled, the user is forced to log in again, and accept, reject, or import the security certificate. TIP: A connection to a product that has Web SSL enabled is established by specifying https at the beginning of the URL. If only http is used, the connection is automatically redirected to the URL beginning with https. 3-22 EFCM Basic User Manual
