Warning
If you select internal security during one installation, you
must select internal security for every installation on your
other computers, otherwise WebPAM won’t work properly.
Both Security features use the Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) method
of encryption. SSL is a well-proven method of securing transactions
used extensively for e-commerce and confidential transactions on
the Internet. With security installed, you log in using Hypertext
Transfer Protocol Secure (HTTPS).
External
– Applies security to all connections involving the Internet
or outside your company firewall.
Internal – Applies security on your internal network or inside your
company firewall. If you select Internal, all PCs on your network
running WebPAM must have this option installed.
Security options are invisible to authorized users. At the same time,
they ensure that users are who they say they are, information about
your RAID remains confidential, and commands and data traveling
over the network are not altered in any way.
Promise Technology provides a default certificate for the server as
well as for internal data communication. However, in some cases it
is always better to install and verify your own certificate for the
webserver. And, and if possible, verify certificate by certificate
authority like Verisign or Thwate. See your MIS Administrator for
guidance.
