To configure secure remote administration, first configure EFT Server to allow remote administration. Create or acquire an SSL certificate, and then consider whether you need implicit or explicit SSL (Secure Sockets Layer, a protocol designed and implemented by Netscape Communications, provides for encryption of a session, authentication of a server, and optionally a client, and message authentication.). Once engaged, SSL encrypts all of your remote administration sessions.
To enable SSL during remote administration
In EFT Administrator, connect to EFT Server and click the Server tab.
In the left pane, click the Server you want to configure.
In the right pane, click the Remote Administration tab.
Select the Require SSL for remote administration check box.
Click the open icon to choose the location of the Certificate file path and the Private key file path.
Type the Private key passphrase.
Click Apply to save the changes on EFT Server.
If you do not already have
a certificate and you are administering a local EFT Server, you can create
a certificate using the Certificate Creation Wizard located on
the main menu under Tools. |
