The Security Alert dialog in the following illustration shows two security alerts regarding certificates:
• “Certificate Authority” on page 274 — The certificate is not from an trusted certifying authority
• “Invalid Certificate Name” on page 277 — The name of the certificate is invalid
3Com creates a self-signed SSL device certificate for authentication with the browser. This allows X
family devices to use SSL communication between the device and client web browser. This certificate
may cause browsers to display a warning dialog, or to otherwise indicate the certificate is suspect. You
can eliminate this dialog/warning by installing the certificate into the client certification trust list and
placing an entry for the device in your local
HOSTS
or
LMHOSTS
file. The entry in the
HOSTS
file should
name the host by its device serial number and then its IP address. This allows the SSL client to resolve
the certificate common name.
