SSL certificate settings

This section describes how:

To configure a protection agent that uses a self-signed Secure Socket Layer (SSL) certificate generated by the management server.
To change the self-signed SSL certificate generated by the management server to a certificate issued by a trusted certificate authority, such as GoDaddy, Comodo, or GlobalSign. If you do this, the certificate used by the management server will be trusted on any machine. The browser security alert will not appear when logging in to the Cyber Protect web console by using the HTTPS protocol.

Optionally, you can configure the management server to prohibit accessing the Cyber Protect web console via HTTP, by redirecting all users to HTTPS. For more information, see Allowing only HTTPS connections to the web console.

Accessing the Cyber Protect web console via HTTPS is available only if you use certificates in the PEM format. If you use PFX certificates, convert them to PEM files.
