Security
7.2.6 SSL
SSL permits secure administration of HG 1500. "Secure administration" means that all data
transmitted between the access PC (via which you are administering HG 1500) and the board
itself is encrypted. This eliminates the risk of transferred configuration data being monitored
without authorization. SSL permits the encryption of transfer data and prevents manipulation.
Transfer paths are authenticated by means of certificates. You can generate and administer
certificates.
SSL must be configured and activated before it can be administered over WBM. For more in-
formation, see Section 7.2.6.1, "Initial Configuration and Activation of SSL".
Background information:
See Section 9.6, "SSL and VPN"
