Parameter

Description

Web-based Configuration
Management

Check Enable Standard (HTTP) Browsing to allow non-secure browsing of the
management system.
Check Enable Secure (HTTPS) Browsing to allow secure (SSL) browsing of the
management system.
It is not recommended to select both. Select Disable Web-based Management to
prevent browsing of the management system. In this mode, the access point is
accessible only through the console and Telnet interfaces.
When HTTPS is enabled for the first time, a self-signed certificate is generated and
stored in the access point. The certificate is based on your current System Name and
Domain Name.
The certificate is presented to the browser on each subsequent access to establish an
SSI connection. The certificate can be installed in your browser or it can be approved
on each access.
A warning appears in browsers if the hostname and domain name in the certificate do
not match those in the URL. To avoid this warning, the System Name and Domain
Name must match the Fully Qualified Domain Name instead of an IP address when
browsing the access point.
Select Delete Existing SSL Certificate if the System Name or Domain Name has been
changed. This generates a new certificate.

System Name (or Host Name)

The name of the system that appears in the titles of management system pages and
in the Association page, helping to identify the device on your network. The system
name is stored in the self-signed certificate that is used to establish a secure browser
connection.

Domain Name

The name of your network's IP domain (such as mycompany.com). The domain name
is stored in the self-signed certificate that is used to establish a secure browser
connection.
