Chapter 5: Setting up security
This chapter describes how to set up security on your storage system.
Setting up TCP/IP for a firewall
To connect the management client and the SVP through a
firewall,
configure
the
firewall
so that the TCP/IP port for the protocol you use becomes available.
When attaching Device Manager - Storage Navigator to multiple storage systems, the
installer must log in to the SVP of each storage system using separate Device Manager -
Storage Navigator sessions and separate web browser instances.
For details about setting up the SVP, see the
Hardware Installation and Reference Guide
for
your storage system.
Working with certificates
A digital
certificate
can be thought of as an electronic passport that allows the SVP and
storage system to exchange information securely over the Internet using the public key
infrastructure (PKI).
You can use a Secure Sockets Layer (SSL)
certificate,
HCS
certificate,
or both to create a
secure, encrypted connection between the SVP and the storage system.
Managing HCS certificates
This topic explains how to set or delete
certificates
for Hitachi Command Suite (HCS) that
are used to check the server's reliability when SSL communication for HCS external
authentication is performed.
Registering HCS certificates
To check the server reliability during SSL communication for HCS external authentication,
upload an HCS public key
certificate
to the web server to register the
certificate.
Note:
Ensure that you register or delete the correct
certificate.
Otherwise,
HCS external authentication will not return.
Before you begin
■
You must be logged into the SVP.
■
The private key
file
on the HCS server must be current. Update it if necessary.
■
The
certificate
file
must have a .crt extension. Rename the
file
if necessary.
