    After confirmation with "Ok" the default password file is active directly. A reset of the RTU500 series is not necessary, but all users are logged out and a re-login is required. After the reset all user accounts and passwords are reset to the default values. That means the re-login must happen with a default user and password.

  • Page 65: Secure Web Server Access

    Detailed information about HTTPS could be found in RFC2818 “HTTP Over TLS”. For the identification the RTU500 series Web server uses as default self-signed public key certificates not issued by a certification authority (CA). The default self-signed certificates are created at startup depending on the configuration.
  • Page 66 As shown in the next figure, the configuration parameters related to the secure Web server are located in the "General" tap at a CMU module (Hardware tree only). To secure the RTU500 series Web server with a self-signed certificate follows these steps: 1 Select the checkbox "Secure HTTPS Web server".

  • Page 67: Https Web Server Access

    7.2 HTTPS Web server access To access the RTU500 series Web server via HTTPS the URL given in the Web client must begin with “https://” followed by the IP address of the RTU. The following figure shows an example.

  • Page 68: Certificate Handling

    RTU500 series. If the Web server is configured for HTTPS a standard access is not possible anymore. In case of a standard access the Web server redirects the access to the secure pages of the RTU500 series Web server.

  • Page 70 The shown link starts the user interface for the certificate upload. In the user interface are two areas. The upper area contains the certificates actually uploaded to the RTU500 series and the lower area controls the upload. The following figure shows this user interface. As there is no trusted, external certificate is uploaded in the example figure, a certificate error is shown as explained in chapter above.
  • Page 71 Figure 91: Start certificate upload When the upload is finished the RTU500 series has to be restarted to activate the certificate. It may be necessary to restart the Web client as well, to recognize the new certificate in the client. After a successful upload and restart the certificate management looks like shown in the next figure.
