7 Connection security configuration This section describes the following tasks: • Managing SSL and SSH services, page 87 • Displaying SSL and SSH services, page 88 • Creating an SSL security certificate, page 89 The 8/20q Fibre Channel Switch supports secure connections with Telnet and switch management applications. The Secure Shell protocol (SSH) secures Telnet connections to the switch. The Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) protocol secures switch connections to the following management applications: • Simple SAN Connection Manager • QuickTools • Storage Management Initiative-Specification (SMI-S) Managing SSL and SSH services Consider the following when enabling SSH and SSL services: • Simple SAN Connection Manager version 1.0 does not support the SSL service. If SSL is enabled, you will be unable to manage the switch using this version of Simple SAN Connection Manager. • To establish a secure Telnet connection, your workstation must use an SSH client. • To enable secure SSL connections, you must first synchronize the date and time on the switch and workstation. See "Managing the date and time" on page 51. • The SSL service must be enabled to authenticate users through a Remote Authentication Dial-In Service (RADIUS) server. See "Configuring a RADIUS server on the switch" on page 102. • To disable SSL when using a user authentication RADIUS server, the RADIUS server authentication order must be local. • Enabling SSL automatically creates a security certificate on the switch. 8/20q Fibre Channel Switch Command Line Interface Guide 87
