This chapter describes the security features of the HTTPS connection used by this software.
This software uses a HTTPS connection between the web browser (client) and Management Server. The connection data is encrypted with a security certificate.
As a default, a self-signed certificate is used when the product was installed.
As the network is isolated from the intranet by a firewall the communication with the neighboring devices is safe and using a self-signed certificate is not a problem, but may generate warning message in a web browser set to access the Internet.
When the web browser is started a warning message is displayed regarding the security certificate upon establishing the connection for the first time.
To disable the first connection warning message, it is necessary to create a certificate corresponding to the Management Server IP address or host name (FQDN) and import it in the web browser.
