HTTPS and Installing a Signed Security Certificate
NorthStar is accessed through a secure web browser session, which means the
browser expects to receive a digital certificate that ensures the connection is with the
correct service. If this certificate is not present, the browser will issue a warning that
your session with the NorthStar site controller is not private, and attackers might be
attempting to steal your information.
Generating and assigning a trusted certificate will remove this message and help
ensure your connection is what you expect it to be. These certificates are issued by
certificate authorities such as Comodo and Symantec, and are typically issued for
internet facing applications. If your NorthStar installation is behind your firewall, the
certificate is not necessary except to remove the browser warning. If you obtain a
certificate from a certificate authority, you can upload it to the NorthStar site controller
via the HTTPS tab.
To assign a trusted certificate to your NorthStar installation:
1.
Access the
HTTPS
screen by clicking
Config
in the left menu bar, and then
clicking the
HTTPS
tab.
2.
Click the
Cert file
button and browse to and select the cert file you received from
the certificate authority, then click the
Open
button.
3.
Click the
Key file
button and browse to and select the key file you received from
the certificate authority, then click the
Open
button.
4.
Click
the
Submit
button to complete the submission.
