If a discrepancy occurs between the configuration of the DS appliance and DSView management
software, the determining factor will be whether the DSView management software is able to
communicate with the DS appliance. If possible, the DS appliance settings will overrule any
security settings in the DSView management software database. However, if the DSView
management software cannot communicate with the DS appliance, the DSView management
software will use the current information from its own database.
To configure the DSView management software Telnet application for SSL mode:
1. In the DSView management software window tree view, select a DS appliance.
2. Select Edit - Properties from the menu bar.
3. Click the Telnet tab. The DSView management software will attempt to access the
DS appliance.
4. The Properties dialog box appears. If the SSL security mode has been set on the DS appliance,
and the DSView management software successfully accesses that device, the DSView
management software Telnet application properties are automatically updated with SSL mode
information, and then disabled.
