Enabled
Enabled determines if SSL is enabled on the OctaGate Switch™ server or not. Unchecking this checkbox will stop ALL SSL domains / virtual paths.
Certificate Location
This is the location where your certificate files must be stored, and it's presented for your convenience. You can't change this value.
Root Certificate File
The name of the root certificate file. The drop down list will allow you to pick any pre-existing pem file located in the "Certificate Location" directory.
Certificate File
The name of the certificate file. The drop down list will allow you to pick any pre-existing pem file located in the "Certificate Location" directory.
Key file
The name of the key file. The drop down list will allow you to pick any pre-existing pem file located in the "Certificate Location" directory.
Certificate Password
The password you chose when creating your key file.
SSL Version
Determines what SSL version OctaGate Switch™ will use. Unless you're very familiar with this, you should leave it at the default value.
Upload Cert/Key File
This will allow you to upload a certificate file from your local computer to the OctaGate Switch server. The uploaded file will be placed in the directory specified by "Certificate Location".
Verification Mode
These settings andle client / peer verification. Without peer verification, no certificate is required from the client.
Verify Peer
Determines if peer verification should be enabled or disabled. If Verify Peer is disabled, the next two options are disabled as well, because they have no meaning if Verify Peer is turned off.
Fail if no peer certificate
If this is set, peers that have no certificate will not be allowed to connect. This should typically be left on.
Verify Client Once
SSL can verify the client certificate once per session, or once per connection. Leaving "Verify Client Once" on means that the SSL client certification process will require less CPU but generally be equally secure.
