Selecting Ciphers
To protect the security of your web server, you should enable SSL. You can enable
the SSL 2.0, SSL 3.0, and TLS encryption protocols and select the various cipher
suites. SSL and TLS can be enabled on the connection group for the Administration
Server. Enabling SSL and TLS on a connection group for the Server Manager will
set those security preferences for all virtual servers associated with that connection
group.
If you wish to have unsecured virtual servers, they must all be configured to the
same connection group with security turned off.
The default settings allow the most commonly used ciphers. Unless you have a
compelling reason why you don’t want to use a specific cipher suite, you should
allow them all. For more information regarding specific ciphers, see Managing
Servers with Netscape Console.
To enable SSL and TLS, perform the following steps:
1.
Access either the Administration Server or the Server Manager and choose the
Preferences tab.
For the Server Manager you must first select the server instance from the
drop-down list.
NOTE
If you have an external module installed, the Manage Server
Certificates page will appear requiring the external module’s
password before you can continue.
NOTE
You must have at least one certificate installed.
