SSL not only ensures that your passwords are encrypted, but also ensures that all data transmitted to, and received from, the administration
interface is encrypted. The Barracuda Message Archiver supports SSL access without any additional configuration. However, some sites may
enforce the use of a secured connection to access the web interface, or prefer to use their own trusted certificates.
The SSL configuration referred to here is related only to the web-based administrative interface; it is unnecessary to explicitly configure SSL for
traffic between the Barracuda Message Archiver and your email servers.
To enforce SSL-only access:
Go to the page, and set the following options:ADVANCED > Secure Administration
HTTPS/SSL Access Only – Specify w .hether users are required to use HTTPS to access the web interface
Use HTTPS links in Emails – Specify whether notices and emails from the Barracuda Message Archiver use HTTP or HTTPS
links.
Web Interface HTTPS/SSL – Enter the appropriate port number; the default value is 443.

To change the certificate that is used, you must first create and upload the new certificate before changing the in the Certificate Type SSL
section. The Barracuda Message Archiver supports the following certificate types:Certificate Configuration
Default (Barracuda Networks) certificates are signed by Barracuda Networks. On some browsers, these may generate some benign
warnings which can be safely ignored. No additional configuration is required to use these certificates which are provided free of charge
as the default certificate type.
Private (Self-signed) certificates provide strong encryption without the cost of purchasing a certificate from a trusted Certificate Authority
(CA). These certificates are created by providing the information requested in the section of the Certificate Generation ADVANCED >
page. Additionally, you can download the Private Root Certificate and import it into your browser to allowSecure Administration
verification of certificate authenticity and to prevent warnings from displaying when accessing the web interface.
Trusted (Signed by a trusted CA) certificates are issued by trusted CAs, and must be purchased separately with a Certificate Signing
Request (CSR). This can be downloaded after providing the information requested in the section of the Certificate Generation ADVANC
page. Once you receive the third-party certificate from the CA, you must upload it to the BarracudaED > Secure Administration
Message Archiver from the section of that same page. The certificate is in effect once the upload is completed.Trusted Certificate
