R EPLACING THE
D EFAULT S ECURE - SITE
C ERTIFICATE
Use the Security > HTTPS (Copy Certificate) page to replace the default
secure-site certificate.
When you log onto the web interface using HTTPS (for secure access), a
Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) certificate appears for the switch. By default,
the certificate that Internet Explorer display will be associated with a
warning that the site is not recognized as a secure site. This is because the
certificate has not been signed by an approved certification authority. If
you want this warning to be replaced by a message confirming that the
connection to the switch is secure, you must obtain a unique certificate and
a private key and password from a recognized certification authority.
C AUTION :
For maximum security, we recommend you obtain a unique
Secure Sockets Layer certificate at the earliest opportunity. This is because
the default certificate for the switch is not unique to the hardware you have
purchased.
