Managing Your Remote Console Switch Using the On-board Web Interface

Installing a Web Certificate

A web certificate allows you to enter the on-board web interface on a web

browser without having to acknowledge the Remote Console Switch as a

trusted web server each time you access the on-board web interface. Using the

Install Web Certificate window, you can create a self-signed openssl

certificate.
To install a web certificate:

1 Click the Tools tab in the on-board web interface. The Tools window

appears.

2 Click the Install Web Server Certificate button. The Install Web Server

Certificate window appears.
