Server Validation Certificates
(V4.72)
Introduction
Beginning with v4.70, the Director software
uses secure IP-based communications
between the server and client PCs. As an
extra measure of security, Director V4.72
allows the use of "certificates" for server
validation with client/server operation.
These can be obtained through your dealer.
Certificate validation occurs whenever
someone (or the communications service)
initiates a connection with the Director server.
You may also be told there is a problem with
the certificate before one has been assigned.
This is normal.
If You Are Prompted about a Certificate Problem
Continue
: To allow logging in--temporarily ignoring
any problem with the server certificate.
Continue, and don't ask me again
: If you will not be
using validation certificates for now. Tip
: This will be
reset when a server certificate is assigned.
Stop
: To abort the login due to a suspect validation
certificate.
