3.3 Configuring DTX Control Servers
This section describes how to configure DTX Control server properties, backup and restore hub servers and manage
spoke servers. This can be done from the System tab in the DTX Control Explorer window. It is recommended to
configure your DTX Control server before adding users and units.

To display server properties:
Click the System tab. Click on DTX Control in the top navigation bar and Identity will automatically be selected in the side
navigation bar. The Server Identity Properties window will open. The top of the side navigation bar will indicate the name
of the DTX Control server.

3.3.2 Server certificates
DTX Control administrators manage server certificates.
Security alerts
The DTX 5000-CTL Management Appliance uses SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) to securely communicate between the
DTX Control hub server and DTX Control clients. SSL provides secure authentication using certificates, which is data
that identifies the PC with which communication will occur. A certificate is typically verified by another certificate from a
trusted certificate authority.
NOTE: When the Fast Switch option is enabled, security protocols will be disabled and data will not be encrypted.
When the DTX 5000-CTL Management Appliance is initially installed, it generates a self-signed certificate for use with
DTX Control clients. To replace this, a DTX Control administrator may create a Certificate Signing Request (CSR) to
submit to a trusted third party Certificate Authority (CA) for signature. The administrator may then replace the generated
certificate with the new one. If the generated certificate is not replaced, the web browser will prompt a user whether to
trust the generated certificate when a DTX Control client session is started.
Three tests are performed on a certificate each time a DTX Control client connects to the DTX Control hub server:
• Does the client web browser trust the certificate issuer?
