Nortel Business Secure Router 252 Configuration — Basics
Introduction to HTTPS
HTTPS (HyperText Transfer Protocol over Secure Socket Layer, or HTTP over
SSL) is a web protocol that encrypts and decrypts Web pages. Secure Socket
Layer (SSL) is an application-level protocol that enables secure transactions of
data by ensuring confidentiality (an unauthorized party cannot read the transferred
data), authentication (one party can identify the other party), and data integrity
(you know if data has been changed).
HTTPS relies upon certificates, public keys, and private keys (see
for more information).
HTTPS on the Business Secure Router is used so that you can securely access the
Business Secure Router using the WebGUI. The SSL protocol specifies that the
SSL server (the Business Secure Router) must always authenticate itself to the
SSL client (the computer that requests the HTTPS connection with the Business
Secure Router), whereas the SSL client only authenticates itself when the SSL
server requires it to do so (select
Authenticate Client Certificates
in the
REMOTE MGMT
,
WWW
screen).
Authenticate Client Certificates
is
optional and, if selected, means the SSL-client must send the Business Secure
Router a certificate. You must apply for a certificate for the browser from a
trusted CA on the Business Secure Router.
Refer to
1
HTTPS connection requests from an SSL-aware Web browser go to port 443 (by default) on
the Business Secure Router WS (Web server).
2
HTTP connection requests from a Web browser go to port 80 (by default) on the Business
Secure Router WS (Web server).
