webserverrestart=<true | false>
Creates a new self-signed certificate for
the SSL communication between the
server running Server Administrator and
the web server.
NOTE: The country name (country
name) must be of two characters, and
validity (validity) must be in days.
For country names, see the table,
Country names and codes, provided
later in this section. The validity,
keysize, and algorithm
parameters are optional. If you do not
set any value for the optional
parameters, Server Administrator
assigns default values to the optional
parameters. The default values of
validity, keysize, and
algorithm are 1095, 2048, and
SHA512 respectively. Restarting
Server Administrator web server is
optional, but the generated certificate
comes to effect only after restarting
the web server.
attribute=uploadcert certfile=<path of the certificate file>
type=<pkcs12> password=<password of
the certificate file>
webserverrestart=true | false
Allows you to import a PKCS#12 keystore
that replaces the private key and
certificate used in Server Administrator
web server. PKCS#12 is public keystore
that contains a private key and the
certificate for a web server. Server
Administrator uses the Java KeyStore
(JKS) format to store the SSL certificates
and its private key. Importing a PKCS#12
keystore to Server Administrator deletes
the keystore entries, and imports a private
key and certificate entries to the Server
Administrator JKS.
NOTE: If you are importing a
PKCS#12 keystore, specify the type
and password of the certificate.
Restarting Server Administrator web
server is optional, but the uploaded
certificate comes to effect only after
restarting the web server.
NOTE: An error message is displayed
if you either type an invalid PKCS file
name or an incorrect password.
attribute=<ciphers> setting=<valid ciphers text value>
Allows you to choose the ciphers that
support the web server while configuring.
SSL provides a secure connection
between the web server and the browser.
