Security
Security features use the Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) method of encryption. SSL
is a well-proven method of securing transactions used extensively for e-
commerce and confidential transactions on the Internet. With security installed,
you log in using Hypertext Transfer Protocol Secure (HTTPS).
External SSL Security
– Applies security to all connections involving the
Internet or outside your company firewall.
Security options are invisible to authorized users. At the same time, they ensure
that information about your RAID remains confidential, and commands and data
traveling over the network are not altered in any way.
Promise Technology provides a default certificate for the server as well as for
internal data communication. However, it is always better to install your own
certificate for the web server. And, if possible, verify certificate by certificate
authority like Verisign or Thwate.
Security options were originally set during installation. They can be changed by
modifying certain configuration files, discussed below.
1.
Go to directory C:\WebPAM\tomcat\conf\ (this is the default directory) on the
webserver host and open file server.xml.
2.
Modify the file so that it agrees with the example above. This configuration
activates the 8080 (non-secure) and 8443 (secure) ports.
3.
Save the file.
4.
Restart the Tomcat service for the new parameters to take effect.
