Configuring peer SSL certificates
This section describes how to install a peer certificate that is presigned by the internal root CA for the SSL connection between the client SteelHead appliance and the server SteelHead appliance.
By default, the SteelHead appliance has a self-signed certificate out of the box. If you do not require a signed certificate, you can configure a self-signed peering certificate.
To configure peer SSL certificates
1. Choose Configure > Optimization > Secure Peering (SSL) on the SteelHead appliance to display the Secure Peering (SSL) page.
2. Under Certificate, select Replace, choose Import Existing Private Key and CA-Signed Public Certificate and click Import Key and Certificate.
3. Access the same page from the SteelHead appliance management console, import the internal root certificate that signs the peering certificates, and click Add.
4. Repeat steps 1 through 3 on the peer SteelHead appliance.
