Security certificates
The ACS console server generates its own self-signed SSL certificate for HTTPS using OpenSSL.
NOTE: It is highly recommended that you use the openssl tool to replace the console server generated certificate.
Certificate for HTTP security
A certificate for HTTP security is created by a Certificate Authority. Certificates are most commonly obtained through generating public and private keys using a public key algorithm like RSA or X.509. The keys can be generated by using a key generator software. The procedures to obtain a Signed Digital Certificate is documented in the ACS Command Reference Guide, Chapter 3 Authentication, Section 3.7 Certificate for HTTP Security.
User configured digital certificate
You can generate a self-signed digital certificate. It is highly recommended that you use the openssl tool to generate a self-signed certificate and replace the console server generated certificate.The procedures to configure a self-signed digital certificate is documented in the Cyclades ACS Advanced Console Server Command Reference Guide.
X.509 certificate on ssh
The OpenSSH software included with the console server has support for X.509 certificates. The administrator must activate and configure the SSH to use X.509. In order to implement authentication of SSH sessions through exchange of X.509 certificates please refer to the configuration procedures described in the Cyclades ACS Advanced Console Server Command Reference Guide.
