selected security policy as described in Security policies on page 2-6 .
For information on starting the management tool for the first time, see the relevant document

A security certificate warning is displayed the first time that you connect to the management
tool. This is normal. Select whatever option is needed in your Web browser to continue to the

replace the default certificate. See About certificate warnings on page 6-17 .
