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.

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.
