The following table describes the labels in this screen.

15.4 The WWW (HTTP and HTTPS) Screen

HTTPS (HyperText Transfer Protocol over Secure Socket Layer, or HTTP over SSL) is a web

protocol that encrypts and decrypts web pages. Secure Socket Layer (SSL) is an application-

level protocol that enables secure transactions of data by ensuring confidentiality (an

unauthorized party cannot read the transferred data), authentication (one party can identify the

other party) and data integrity (you know if data has been changed).

LABEL DESCRIPTION

HTTPS

Server

Certificate

Select the Server Certificate that the LAN-Cell will use to identify itself. The LAN-

Cell is the SSL server and must always authenticate itself to the SSL client (the

computer which requests the HTTPS connection with the LAN-Cell).

Authenticate

Client

Certificates

Select Authenticate Client Certificates (optional) to require the SSL client to

authenticate itself to the LAN-Cell by sending the LAN-Cell a certificate. To do that

the SSL client must have a CA-signed certificate from a CA that has been imported

as a trusted CA on the LAN-Cell (see Appendix G on page 629 on importing

certificates for details).

Server Port The HTTPS proxy server listens on port 443 by default. If you change the HTTPS

proxy server port to a different number on the LAN-Cell, for example 8443, then you

must notify people who need to access the LAN-Cell web configurator to use “https:/

/LAN-Cell IP Address:8443” as the URL.

Server Access Select the interface(s) through which a computer may access the LAN-Cell using

this service.

You can allow only secure web configurator access by clearing all of the interface

check boxes in the HTTP Server Access field and setting the HTTPS Server

Access field to an interface(s).

Secure Client IP

Address

A secure client is a “trusted” computer that is allowed to communicate with the LAN-

Cell using this service.

Select All to allow any computer to access the LAN-Cell using this service.

Choose Selected to just allow the computer with the IP address that you specify to

access the LAN-Cell using this service.

HTTP

Server Port You may change the server port number for a service if needed, however you must

use the same port number in order to use that service for remote management.
