You will be prompted

to enter a lot of information. Most of it doesn't matter, but the "Common

Name" should be the domain name of your computer (

test.

tripplite

entered everything, the certificate will be created in a file called

ssl_cert.pem

The recommended method for copying files securely to the

Console Server

unit is with an SCP

(Secure Copying Protocol) client. The

scp

utility is distributed with OpenSSH for most Unices,

while Windows users can use something

like the PSCP command line utility available with

PuTTY.

The files created in steps 1 and 2 can be installed remotely with the

scp

utility as follows:

scp ssl_key.pem root@<address of unit>:/etc/config/

scp ssl_cert.pem root@<address of unit>:/etc/confi

or using PSCP:

pscp

scp ssl_key.pem root@<address of unit>:/etc/config/

pscp

scp ssl_cert.pem root@<address of unit>:/etc/config/

PuTTY and the PSCP utility can be downloaded from

http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/download.html

More detailed documentation on the PSCP can be found:

Launching the HTTPS Server

Note that the easiest way to enable the HTTPS server is from the Management Console. Simply

click the ap

ropriate checkbox in

Network

> Services

> HTTPS

Server

and the HTTPS server

will be

activated (assuming the

ssl_key.pem

ssl_cert.pem

files exist in the

/etc/config

directory).

Alternatively

inetd

can be configured to launch the secure fnord server from the comm

and line

of the unit as follows:

Edit the

inetd

configuration file. From

the unit command line:

vi /etc/config/inetd.conf

Append a line:

1 2 ... 202 203 204 205 206 207 208 209 210 211 212 ... 241 242
