Chapter 4: Configuring the Library
Configuring Security Settings
106 Quantum Scalar i40 and Scalar i80 User’s Guide
SSL Allows you to enable Secure Socket Layer (SSL) for secure data
transmission between the library and remote clients. This setting is
disabled by default.
Enabling SSL encrypts all Web browser connections to the Web client,
and it enables SSL-based authentication for SMI-S. SMI-S is the newest
standard of SNMP, which makes sets of data continuously available. For
more information about SMI-S on the library, see
SMI-S on page 101.
Disabling SSL creates an unencrypted connection from a Web browser
to the Web client.
See the
Quantum Intelligent Libraries SMI-S Reference Guide
(6-01317-xx) for further configuration and access details.
Note: Before enabling SSL, make sure you enter a name for the library
in the Host Name text box when configuring network settings
(Setup > Network Management > Network on the Web
client; see
Library Host Name on page 41). After enabling SSL,
use that host name to access the library. If you do not use that
name, you will receive a security alert. In addition, make sure to
complete all the text boxes listed on the Web client Contact
Information screen (Setup > Notification > Contact
Information) before enabling SSL. This information is used to
identify company information in the SSL certificate.
