Figure 17-6 Web Interface – Tree Diagram
Clicking on any of the features listed in the Tree Diagram results in a feature
dedicated display to appear in place of the Information Pane. The features
relate to the current node being managed.
Changing the value or status of some configurable radio features, that
would normally require a Reset System before they become effective, can
be applied immediately without a Reset System being applied.
WARNING:
Changing these features may be used to change the
radio configuration of an existing working link. If
management of the far end Horizon Compact Plus is
only via the radio link, then configure the far end
radio first. Otherwise, if you configure the near end
radio first, you will lose the link to the far end radio
and be unable to manage or configure it.
17.6 Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) Web Server
The Horizon Compact Plus Web server can be configured for Secure
Sockets Layer (SSL). The Web server may be configured to operate in
standard mode or in SSL mode. Horizon's SSL Web server is HTTP 1.0/1.1
compliant, features full support of HTML 2.0, 3.2, 4.0 and supports SSL 3.0.
Secure Sockets Layer, SSL, is the standard security technology for creating
an encrypted link between a Web server and a browser. This link ensures
that all data passed between the Web server and browser, remain
encrypted. In order to be able to verify it’s identity to web clients, a web
server requires a valid SSL Certificate.
Once generated, the web server’s certificate may be held as a private
certificate or it may be registered with a Trusted Certificate Authority such
as:
Microsoft Root Authority
Thawte Server
GTE Cybertrust Root
VeriSign RSA Secure Server
SSL access can be enabled on a per-user group basis. SSL access can be
invoked for the Super User, for all NOC accounts, for all Admin accounts, or
any combination of the three. Once SSL access has been enabled for the
user group then all members of that user group can use SSL to connect to
the Horizon Compact Plus Web browser. Even if SSL access is not required
for the user group, those users may access the Horizon Compact Plus Web browser through HTTPS
(SSL) as a security measure.
