Verisign, Thawte, SecureSign, SecureNet, Microsoft Authenticode, etc.).

To import a certificate, open the certificate file (*.crt) and the file including the correspond-
ing private key (*.key). These files are stored in sslcert under the WinRoute’s installation
directory.

The process of certification is quite complex and requires a certain expertise. For detailed

instructions contact Kerio technical support.

11.2 User authentication at the web interface

User authentication is required for access to the WinRoute’s web interface. Any user with their

own account in WinRoute can authenticate to the web interface. Depending on the right to

view statistics (see chapter

15.2

), either Kerio StaR is opened or a page with status information

and personal preferences is displayed upon logon.

If more than one Active Directory domain are used (see chapter

15.4

), the following rules apply

to the user name:

Local user account — the name must be specified without the domain (e.g. admin),

Primary domain — missing domain is acceptable in the name specification (e.g.

jsmith

), but it is also possible to include the domain (e.g. [email protected]),

Other domains — the name specified must include the domain

(e.g. [email protected]).

If none or just one Active Directory domain is mapped, all users can authenticate by their

usernames without the domain specified.

Note: Authentication at the web interface is a basic user authentication method at the firewall.

Other authentication methods are described in chapter

10.1

.
