HTTPS Access Settings

System Platform Help >> System Management >> HTTPS Access Settings

Perform this task to configure the HTTPS access settings. By default, the Enable only HTTPS access option is set to disable, and users can access the INC system through HTTP. You can enable this option and configure the authentication settings (including the authentication mode, certificates, and passwords) required for HTTPS access. The system supports both server-side authentication and mutual authentication. In server-side authentication mode, the INC server needs to identify itself to requesting clients through the server certificate. Client authentication is not required. In mutual authentication mode, both the server and client must identify themselves to each other through their respective certificates. You need to configure the required certificates and certificate passwords according to the selected authentication mode.

The system also provides the function of restoring the default configuration after you misconfigure the HTTPS settings. To restore the default configuration, click Restore Initial Values.

Procedure

From the navigation tree, select System > HTTPS Access Settings.
Select an authentication method.
On the server-side authentication page, perform the following tasks:
On the mutual authentication page, perform the following tasks:

Parameters

Enable only HTTPS access: A user can configure the system to enable or disable only HTTPS access.
Server-side Certificate File: Service-side certificate used for authentication.
Server-side Certificate Password: Service-side certificate password used for authentication.
Client Root Certificate: Root certificate of the client certificate used for authentication.
Client Root Certificate Password: Root certificate password of the client certificate used for authentication.

Precautions

The system requires the use of Java certificates for HTTPS access. The Java certificates are generated by Java Keytool.
