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.
