Establishing Security

When you install the Novell® Certificate Server (during the NetWare installation), a Key Material Object (KMO) is created by default. A KMO, also called a Server Certificate object, includes a server certificate and key pair files.

For related information on securing the NetWare Web Manager, refer to Modifying Web Manager Preferences.

For more information on installing and configuring the Novell Certificate Server, refer to the Novell Certificate Server Administration Guide.

If you created a KMO, you can use the following procedure to enable security:

  1. From the Web Manager home page, click Enterprise Web Server servername > Server Preferences > Encryption On/Off.

    This option is available only if you have created a KMO.

    2.

  2. Under Encryption, click On.

    The Port Number field displays 443.

    3.

  3. Select the KMO you want to use for encryption from the KMO drop-down list.

    4.

  4. Click OK.

    5.

To affect the changes, restart the Web server by going to the Server Preferences page and clicking Server Off and then Server On.

HINT:  Once you have enabled security on the NetWare Web Manager or Enterprise Web Server, you must use https:// in the URL to access them.
