Running the DSView 3 Software
DSView 3 software clients access the DSView 3 management software host using a supported
web browser. Any software required by the client, such as applets and the Java Runtime
Environment (JRE), will be automatically installed by the DSView 3 server host.
The DSView 3 software uses Secure Sockets Layers (SSL) encryption to send data between the
DSView 3 software host and the web browser on the client to ensure data integrity and privacy.
When a user attempts to log in to a DSView 3 software client session, the authentication
service configured in the DSView 3 software by the DSView 3 software administrator verifies
the credentials of the user. Security alerts related to the certificates on the DSView 3 software
host may appear. See Certificates on page 52.
