– The server certificate that you upload to the Management Card
enables SSL to authenticate that data are being received from
and sent to the correct Management Card. This provides an extra
level of security beyond the encryption of the user name,
password, and transmitted data.
– The root certificate that you install to the browser enables the
browser to authenticate the Management Card’s server certificate
to provide additional protection from unauthorized access.
• Disadvantage:
Because the certificates do not have the digital signature of a
commercial Certificate Authority, you must load a root certificate
individually into the certificate store (cache) of each user’s
browser. (Browser manufacturers already provide root certificates
for commercial Certificate Authorities in the certificate store within
the browser. See Method 3.)
