Certificate Authentication for WebUI Access
The controller supports client certificate authentication for users accessing the controller using the WebUI. (The
default is for username/password authentication.) You can use client certificate authentication only, or client
certificate authentication with username/password (if certificate authentication fails, the user can log in with a
configured username and password).
Configuring Certificate Authentication for WebUI Access
To use client certificate authentication, you must do the following:
1. Obtain a client certificate and import the certificate into the controller. Obtaining and importing a client
certificate is described in “Managing Certificates” on page 503.
2. Configure certificate authentication for WebUI management. You can optionally also select username/
password authentication.
3. Configure a user with a management role. Specify the client certificate for authentication of the user.
In the WebUI
1. Navigate to the Configuration > Management > General page.
2. Under WebUI Management Authentication Method, select Client Certificate. You can select Username and
Password as well; in this case, the user is prompted to manually enter the username and password only if the
client certificate is invalid.
3. Select the server certificate to be used for this service.
4. Click Apply.
Note: Each controller can support a maximum of ten management users.
