external Certificate Authority, or if you do not want to use an existing

Certificate Authority, you can create an APC root certificate to upload to a

browser’s certificate store (cache). You can also use the Wizard to create a

server certificate to upload to the Management Card.

SSL also uses various algorithms and encryption ciphers to authenticate

the server, encrypt data, and ensure the integrity of the data (i.e. that it has

not been intercepted and sent by another server).

You can use SSL/TLS and MD5 authentication together to provide the

security benefits of both. MD5 authentication does not provide encryption,

but its authentication methods can be a useful enhancement to the security

provided by SSL/TLS.

See Creating and Installing Digital Certificates for a summary of

how these certificates are used.

To create certificates and certificate requests, see the

Management Card Addendum (.\doc\Addendum.pdf) on the

APC Network Management Card utility CD

See CipherSuite to select which authentication and encryption

algorithms to use.

Web browsers cache (save) Web pages that you recently

accessed and allow you to return to those pages without re-

entering your user name and password. MD5 authentication,

however, requires you to enter your user name and password

even to access a cached Web page, e.g., when you use the Back

button of Microsoft Internet Explorer.

Therefore, if you are use the SSL and TLS protocols without also

using MD5 authentication, always close your browser session

before you leave your computer unattended.
