HTTP Security

You can configure SyncThru™ Admin 5 server settings including https connection and certification configuration.
From SyncThru™ Admin 5, click Settings menu > Settings > SyncThru Management > HTTP Security.

Configuring web server settings

SyncThru™ Admin 5 is a web based management server. By default, it works with HTTP port, 8080. Or if your server
works with HTTPS, it uses HTTPS port, 8081.

To change the HTTP/HTTPS port number:
From SyncThru™ Admin 5, click Settings menu > Settings > SyncThru Management > HTTP Security > Web
Server Configuration
> HTTP Port/HTTPS Port.

To enable the SSL:
If you want to use a secure connection, you can use HTTPS by enabling the SSL.
From SyncThru™ Admin 5, click Settings menu > Settings > SyncThru Management > HTTP Security > Web
Server Configuration
> Enable SSL.

If you enable SSL, all the communications between SyncThru™ Admin 5 and your web browser are
sent encrypted by HTTPS

Please make sure that your SyncThru™ Admin 5 has a certificate. If there is no certificate, you cannot
enable SSL (See "Creating Certification" on page 73).

SSL&Certification

If you want to use an SSL connection for security, you need to configure a certificate, which is required for the secured
connection. SyncThru™ Admin 5 does not provide the default certificate.

Creating Certification

From SyncThru™ Admin 5, click Settings menu > Settings > SyncThru Management > HTTP Security > Web
Server Configuration
> Certificate Status.

If the status is Certificate configured, there is already a certificate installed. In this case, you can see the details
of the installed certificate with Certificate Details button (See"Viewing Certification" on page 73).

If the status is Certificate Not Configured, there is no certificate installed. Click Certificate Configuration. There
are three options for certificate settings:

-

Create Self-Signed Certificate : Creates a certificate using SyncThru™ Admin 5’s provided functionality.

-

Prepare Certificate Request : Creates the certificate for the external certificate authority.

-

Upload Existing Certificate : Uploads the certificate already issued by the external or internal certificate
authority.

Viewing Certification

If there is a certificate installed, the Certificate Details button is available. You can see the details of the installed
certificate.

Enabling SSL Connection (HTTPS)

From SyncThru™ Admin 5, click Settings menu > Settings > SyncThru Management > HTTP Security > Web
Server Configuration
> Enable SSL

Please make sure that you enter https://ip_address:https_port_number in your web browser address bar when
SSL is enabled. If you type http://ip_address:https_port_number or https://ip_address in the web browser
address bar, the page will not load.

Disabling SSL Connection (HTTPS)

From SyncThru™ Admin 5, click Settings menu > Settings > SyncThru Management > HTTP Security > Web
Server Configuration
> Enable SSL. Uncheck the check box.

Authentication

Authentication is for maintaining SyncThru™ Admin 5 access rights. If you enable the Authentication, SyncThru™
Admin 5 requires a user account when opening SyncThru™ Admin 5 via a web browser. Choose one of the
Authentication types according to the security policy for your site. Authentication types are Local Authentication,
LDAP Authentication and Domain Authentication.

If a user using IE in Windows, uses domain account and if the user’s domain account is registered in
SyncThru™ Admin 5, while Domain Authentication is on, SSO (Single Sign On) is applied when the user
logs in to the PC. So, if the user opens SyncThru™ Admin 5 from an SSO applied PC, the user does not
need to log in to SyncThru™ Admin 5, the user is automatically logged in.

If you configure the authentication during setup, SyncThru™ Admin 5 will use Local Authentication type.
