It relies upon certificates, public keys, and private keys (see Chapter 11 on page 255 for more
information).
HTTPS on the LAN-Cell is used so that you may securely access the LAN-Cell using the web
configurator. The SSL protocol specifies that the SSL server (the LAN-Cell) must always
authenticate itself to the SSL client (the computer which requests the HTTPS connection with
the LAN-Cell), whereas the SSL client only should authenticate itself when the SSL server
requires it to do so (select Authenticate Client Certificates in the REMOTE MGMT >
WWW screen). Authenticate Client Certificates is optional and if selected means the SSL-
client must send the LAN-Cell a certificate. You must apply for a certificate for the browser
from a CA that is a trusted CA on the LAN-Cell.
Please refer to the following figure.
1 HTTPS connection requests from an SSL-aware web browser go to port 443 (by default)
on the LAN-Cell’s WS (web server).
2 HTTP connection requests from a web browser go to port 80 (by default) on the LAN-
Cell’s WS (web server).
Figure 202 HTTPS Implementation
" If you disable the HTTP service in the REMOTE MGMT > WWW screen, then
the LAN-Cell blocks all HTTP connection attempts.
