Switched Rack PDU
126
Creating and Installing Digital Certificates
Purpose
For network communication that requires a higher level of security than 
password encryption, the Web interface of the Switched Rack PDU 
supports the use of digital certificates with the Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) 
protocol. Digital certificates can authenticate the Switched Rack PDU (the 
server) to the Web browser (the SSL client).
The sections that follow summarize the three methods of creating, 
implementing, and using digital certificates. Read these sections to 
determine the most appropriate method for your system.

You can also use Method 3 if your company or agency 
operates its own Certificate Authority. Use the APC Security 
Wizard in the same way, but use your own Certificate 
Authority in place of a commercial Certificate Authority.
