Configuring Secure Web Access
Before You Begin
Before you begin initial configuration, complete the following tasks:
Establish basic connectivity. See “Establishing Basic Connectivity” on page 93.
Obtain an SSL certificate from a trusted signing authority. See “Generating SSL
Certificates” on page 117.
Generating SSL Certificates
To enable secure Web access, you must first generate a digital SSL certificate,
and then enable HTTPS access on the Services Router.
To generate an SSL certificate:
1.
Enter the following
openssl
command in your Secure Shell command-line
interface. The
openssl
command generates a self-signed SSL certificate in
the privacy-enhanced mail (PEM) format. It writes the certificate and an
unencrypted 1024-bit RSA private key to the specified file.
% openssl req –x509 –nodes –newkey rsa:1024 –keyout filename .pem -out filename .pem
Replace
filename
with the name of a file in which you want the SSL certificate
to be written—for example,
new.pem
.
2.
When prompted, type the appropriate information in the identification form.
For example, type
US
for the country name.
3.
Display the contents of the file
new.pem
.
cat new.pem
Copy the contents of this file for installing the SSL certificate.
Use can use either J-Web Quick Configuration or a configuration editor
to install the SSL certificate and enable HTTPS.
Configuring Secure Web Access with Quick Configuration
Use the Secure Access Quick Configuration page to enable HTTP and HTTPS access
on interfaces for managing Services Routers through the Web interface. You can also
install SSL certificates and enable JUNOScript over SSL with the Secure Access page.
Figure 37 shows the Secure Access Quick Configuration page.
