Server Authentication Warnings
Enabling SSL with the default Quantum certificate allows you to
securely communicate with the DXi8500 Web-based interface using SSL
encryption. However, you may receive a warning from your Web
browser stating that the server you are attempting to connect to does
not match the server embedded within the certificate.
This is expected behavior because the default certificate can only be
used for encryption and not server authentication. You can install your
own custom certificate in order to take advantage of server
authentication in addition to encrypted communication.
To suppress server authentication warnings for the default certificate:
• Internet Explorer - If a dialog box displays warning you of a
possible certificate error, add the IP address for the DXi8500 to the
Trusted Sites list ( Tools > Internet Options > Security > Trusted
Sites ). If subsequent warning pages display along with an option to
close your Web browser or continue to the Web site, click Continue .
This suppresses the warnings until you restart your Web browser.
• Firefox - If the Secure Connection Failed dialog box displays, click
the link at the bottom of the dialog box and follow the instructions
to add an exception for your DXi8500.
Installing an SSL Certificate
You can purchase and install your own custom SSL certificate in order to
take advantage of server authentication in addition to encrypted
communication on the DXi8500.
To install an SSL certificate:
1 Under Certificate , click New .
The Install New Certificate page displays (see Figure 216 ).
