Replacing the Default
Secure-site Certificate
Use the Security > HTTPS (Copy Certificate) page to replace the default secure-site
certificate.
When you log onto the web interface using HTTPS (for secure access), a Secure
Sockets Layer (SSL) certificate appears for the switch. By default, the certificate that
the web browser displays will be associated with a warning that the site is not
recognized as a secure site. This is because the certificate has not been signed by an
approved certification authority. If you want this warning to be replaced by a
message confirming that the connection to the switch is secure, you must obtain a
unique certificate and a private key and password from a recognized certification
authority.
