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.
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.
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.
