Hypertext Transfer Protocol over SSL (HTTPS)  Configuration

HTTPS refers to HTTP over a secure SSL connection. To use HTTPS you can simply enter a URL of “https://xxxxx” instead of “http://xxxxxx”.  Your NetBurner device can simultaneously run both HTTP and HTTPS access to the web server. HTTPS requires both a Certificate and a RSA public/private Key. The key must match the certificate and if you are creating your own self signed certificate or purchasing a certificate from a certificate authority, both the certificate and key must be uploaded at the same time. If you are creating your own certificate, called a self-signed certificate, anyone accessing the secure web page will first receive a warning message from the web browser asking to confirm whether or not the certificate should be accepted. For detailed information on the NetBurner SSL implementation, please refer to the NetBurner SSL product datasheet at www.netburner.com.There are 3 possible key/certificate configurations. The first two are present so the system is functional if you have not uploaded your own user created certificate and key.

  1. The NetBurner certificate/key built into the SSL library, designated by the name “NetBurner”, which will be used if no other keys are present.
  2. The application certificate/key, designated by the description “Default”. This SSL certificate and key are compiled into the application and will be used if no user created certificate and key have been uploaded.
  3. A certificate and key you have uploaded.
Maximum key size is 4096 bits

SSL Public Key Certificate Displays current certificate in use.
RSA Public/Private Key Pair Displays the current keys in use.
Certificate file to install Selects the certificate file to upload (must also upload the key).
Key file to install Selects the RSA public/private key pair to upload (must also upload certificate).
