Enabling SSL

5

Administrators can enable or disable SSL settings on the library. Enabling

SSL settings encrypts all Web browser connections to the Web client, and

it enables SSL-based authentication for SMI-S. SMI-S is the newest

standard of SNMP, which makes sets of data continuously available.

SMI-S is disabled by default. You can enable SMI-S on the

Tools > System

Settings

screen on the operator panel.

The default SSL setting is

Disabled

. Disabling SSL settings creates an

unencrypted connection from a Web browser to the Web client.

Caution:

Modifying network settings will modify network

connectivity parameters, requiring remote communication

configuration changes. Your current Web client browser

session might become invalid, requiring you to close your

current browser session. Access the Web client using the

new network configuration settings and log in again.

Note:

Be sure to add the PowerVault ML6000’s IP address to the list

of trusted/allowed sites on your PowerVault ML6000-

supported browser, so the Web client pages automatically

refresh.

Note:

For step-by-step network configuration instructions, see your

library’s online Help. To access the online Help system, click

the

Help

icon at the top right of the Web client or operator

panel user interface.
