Use encrypted 
communications
Enabled
Select this check box to use Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) X.509 
certificate-based channel encryption for Symantec Critical System 
Protection.
SSL X.509 certificate-based channel encryption secures communication 
between the management console and the management server, and 
between the agent and the management server.
If you feel that your system provides adequate firewall security and you 
do not want to use SSL X.509 certificate-based channel encryption for 
Symantec Critical System Protection, clear this check box. If you clear 
this check box, you must edit the server.xml file, found on the 
management server, in the 
directory. See the Symantec Critical System Protection Administration 
Guide for instructions on editing server.xml.
