Server Validation
Certificates (
V4.72)
Introduction
Beginning with v4.70, the Director
software uses secure IP-based
communications between the server
and client PCs. As an extra measure
of security, Director
V4.72 allows the
use of "certificates" for server
validation with client/server operation.
These can be obtained through your
dealer.
Certificate validation occurs whenever
someone (or the communications
service) initiates a connection with the
Director server. You may also be told
there is a problem with the certificate before
one has been assigned. This is normal.
If You Are Prompted about a Certificate Problem
Continue: To allow logging in--temporarily ignoring
any problem with the server certificate.
Continue, and don't ask me again: If you will not be
using validation certificates for now. Tip: This will be
reset when a server certificate is assigned.
Stop: To abort the login due to a suspect validation
certificate.
