Configuring web settings

You can modify Management Console web user interface and certificate settings under Administration > Security: Web Settings.

Under Web Settings, these configuration options are available:

Specifies the username that appears in the authentication page. The default value is admin.

Specifies the number of idle minutes before time-out. The default value is 15. A value of 0 disables time-out.

Allow Session Timeouts When Viewing Auto-Refreshing Pages

Enables session time-out. By default, session time-out is enabled, which stops the automatic updating of the report pages when the session times out. Clear the Allow check box to disable the session time-out, remain logged-in indefinitely, and automatically refresh the report pages.

RiOS provides these security features to manage SSL certificates used by the Edge Management Console through HTTPS:

• Generate the certificate and key pairs on the Edge. This method overwrites the existing certificate and key pair regardless of whether the previous certificate and key pair was self-signed or user added. The new self-signed certificate lasts for one year (365 days).

• Create certificate signing requests from the certificate and key pairs.

• Replace a signed certificate with one created by an administrator or generated by a third-party certificate authority.

Under Web Certificate, select the Details tab. These Edge identity certificate configuration options are available:

Common Name specifies the common name of the certificate authority.

Email specifies the email address of the certificate administrator.

Organization specifies the organization name (for example, the company).

Locality specifies the city.

State specifies the state.

Country specifies the country.

Serial Number specifies the serial number (Issued To, only).

Issued On specifies the date the certificate was issued.

Expires On specifies the date the certificate expires.

Specifies the SSL fingerprint.

Type specifies the key type.

Size specifies the size in bytes.

To replace an existing certificate, under Web Certificate, select the Replace tab. These configuration options are available:

Imports the certificate and key. The page displays controls for browsing to and uploading the certificate and key files. Or, you can use the text box to copy and paste a PEM file. The private key is required regardless of whether you are adding or updating the certificate.

Upload browses to the local file in PKCS-12, PEM, or DER formats.

Paste it here (PEM) copies and then pastes the contents of a PEM file.

Specifies the private key origin.

The Private Key is in a separate file (see below)—You can either upload it or copy and paste it.

This file includes the Certificate and Private Key

The Private Key for this Certificate was created with a CSR generated on this appliance.

Upload (PEM or DER formats) browses to the local file in PEM or DER formats.

Paste it here (PEM only) pastes the contents of a PEM file.

Decryption Password specifies the decryption password, if necessary. Passwords are required for PKCS-12 files, optional for PEM files, and never needed for DER files.
