To configure HTTP and HTTPS:
1. On the Administration tab, select Network on the top menu bar and access
under Web on the left navigation menu.
2. Enable either HTTP or HTTPS and configure the ports that each of
the two protocols will use. Changes take effect the next time you log
on. When SSL is activated, your browser displays a small lock icon.
3. Select ssl certificate under Web on the left navigation menu to determine
whether a server certificate is installed on the Rack PDU. If a certificate was
created with the Rack PDU Security Wizard but is not installed:
• In the Web interface, browse to the certificate file and upload it to the Rack PDU.
• Alternatively, use the Secure CoPy (SCP) protocol or FTP to upload the
certificate file to the Rack PDU.
4. If a valid digital server certificate is loaded, the Status field displays the link.
See Creating and Installing Digital Certificates to choose among the several
methods for using digital certificates.
For information on the extra security a non-standard port provides, see
Port assignments .
Creating and uploading a server certificate in advance reduces the time
required to enable HTTPS. If you enable HTTPS with no server certificate
loaded, the Rack PDU creates one when it reboots.
The Rack PDU can
take up to 1 minute to create the certificate, and the SSL server is
unavailable during that time.
A certificate that the Rack PDU generates has some limitations. See
Method 1: Use the default certificate auto-generated by the Rack PDU .
