6-2-2 Enabling TLS/SSL Server Security
IMPORTANT: TLS and SSL require Internet Explorer 6.0 or higher.
1. Open a command line or terminal window and launch HiKeytool (refer to section 6-2-1 for
instructions).
2. From HiKeytool, type 2 (Set Device Manager Server Security Level).
3. HiKeytool will echo the current security level, display the two available levels of security, and
prompt the user for an entry (see
Figure 6-3), as follows:
• 1 Basic authentication, which requires a valid username and password.
NOTE: This is the default. Information will be base64 encoded, but it can be easily unencoded and read by
anyone listening to the communications being sent on a network.
• 2 Encrypted using TLS/SSL, which is discussed in this section.
4. To enable TLS/SSL (Secure Sockets), type 2 and press the Enter key. The display will confirm
that you have selected TLS/SSL (see Figure 6-4).
5. You will need to restart the Device Manager server for these changes to take effect.
NOTE: If you only want to use a self-signed certificate, skip the next sections and go directly to section 6-3-
1 and continue from that point.
