Configuring SSL for a Settings Template or User Account

(EFT Server Enterprise only) SSL must first be enabled on the Site and Server. In EFT Server Enterprise, it can then be enabled for a Settings Template and/or for each user.

If you require certificates from connecting clients before they can connect, then their certificate must be in the Trusted Certificates Database or signed by a certificate in the Trusted Certificate Database.

To enable SSL

1. In the administration interface, connect to EFT Server and click the Server tab.

2. In the left pane, select the Settings Template or user account that you want to configure.

3. In the right pane, select the Connections tab.

   (If the SSL Auth button is dimmed, you are using EFT Server SMB. This feature is available in EFT Server Enterprise only.)

4. In the Protocols area, select the applicable check boxes (FTPS, HTTPS, and/or AS2).

5. Click SSL Auth. The SSL Authentication Options dialog box appears.

6. In the SSL authentication options list, specify the authentication method:

   • Specified in Settings Template (available for user accounts)

   • Password only

   • SSL Certificate - If SSL Certificate is specified, specify the user certificate in the second list that appears.  

   • Compliance with PCI DSS requires that users change their password upon initial login. Because this login method does not use a password, it potentially violates the PCI DSS and is, therefore, not available on Sites defined using the "strict security settings" option.

7. Click OK to close the dialog box.

8. Click Apply to save the changes to EFT Server.
