Installing SSL certificate

Smart AMS is capable of using the Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) protocol to ensure the security of data sent between computers on the network. It is recommended that you use your own root certificate.

Alternatively, you can use an SSL certificate generated by Smart AMS. It will require each machine on the network to have a copy of the SSL certificate installed in the Trusted Root Certificate Store.

Using your own certificate

• Go to the Smart AMS Manager address in your web browser by using the Open Smart AMS Manager shortcut on the Desktop or on the Windows Start menu.
  Sample address: https://localhost:6394. Port number is selected when you install Smart AMS. The default is 6394. Make sure to replace localhost with the actual IP address of the computer that Smart AMS Manager is running on.

• To switch to the Certificate settings section, select in the Navigation Panel on the left of the page. On mobile devices with a smaller screen, select your username in the upper right corner of the page, and then select Certificate settings.

  Select Advanced to go to the Update SSL settings page.

  When on the Update SSL settings page, use the "+" and "-" buttons to add or remove items.

• Select "+" to the right of the Root certificate title, and then upload the certificate file.

• When you are done, select Update.

Root certificate list: Select the root certificate that you want to use with Smart AMS.

Renewal period spin box: Specify the number of months for certificate renewal.

Main CN field: To be used for SSL, a certificate must have a CN (common name) matching the hostname. Use the Add button to add alternative CNs.

Using the certificate generated by Smart AMS

• Go to the Smart AMS Config address in your web browser by using the Open Smart AMS Config UI shortcut on the Desktop or on the Windows Start menu.
  Sample address: https://localhost:6395. Make sure to replace localhost with the actual IP address of the computer Smart AMS Config is running on.
