Changing Secure Communication Settings (HTTP or HTTPS) Using the Security tab of the Server Management Console, you can change the configuration settings to connect to and communicate with switches using HTTP or using HTTP over SSL (HTTPS). The configuration setting applies to the entire Fabric Manager server and not to selected switches. By default, Fabric Manager connects to all switches using HTTP. If you select HTTPS, then all southbound (server-to-switch) HTTP-based operations initiated by the server is secured by connecting to switches using HTTPS. It is strongly recommended that you select HTTPS only if your SAN meets the following requirements: • All switches in the SAN must be capable of supporting HTTPS. • All switches must have a valid SSL certificate. 24-8 Fabric Manager Administrator's Guide Publication Number: 53-1000196-01-HP
