4. Display the fingerprint of the SSH host key for SSH version 2. Most SSH clients
display the fingerprint at the start of a session. Compare the fingerprint
displayed by the client to the fingerprint that you recorded from the Web
interface or command line interface of the Rack PDU
.
Web Interface Access and Security: HTTP and
HTTPS (with SSL)
HyperText Transfer Protocol (HTTP) provides access by user name and password, but
does not encrypt user names, passwords, and data during transmission. HyperText
Transfer Protocol over Secure Sockets Layer (HTTPS) encrypts user names,
passwords, and data during transmission, and provides authentication of the Rack
PDU by means of digital certificates.
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.
See
Creating and Installing Digital Certificates
to choose among the several
methods for using digital certificates.
