used in Method 1 (This longer encryption key is also used in
Method 2.)
– 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 browser matches the digital signature on the server certificate
that you uploaded to the Management Card with the signature on
the CA root certificate that is already in the browser’s certificate
cache to provide additional protection from unauthorized access.
• Disadvantages:
– Setup requires the extra step of requesting a signed root
certificate from a Certificate Authority.
– An external Certificate Authority may charge a fee for providing
signed certificates.
