To configure SECURE remote administration, first configure the server to allow remote administration. Create or acquire an SSL certificate, and then consider whether you need implicit or explicit SSL.
Once engaged, SSL will encrypt your entire remote administration sessions.
Start the Administrator Interface and connect to the server you want to configure.
At the bottom of the left pane, click the Server tab.
In the left pane make sure the Server is still selected.
In the right pane, click the Remote Administration tab.
Select the Use SSL for remote administration check box.
Choose the location of the Certificate file path and the Private key file path with the browse button depicted by a folder.
Enter the Private key passphrase.
Click Apply.
If you do not already have a certificate and you are administering a local server, you may create a certificate using the Certificate Creation Wizard located on the menu bar under Tools.
You can not use the Certificate Creation Wizard to create a certificate for a remote server. If you need to create a certificate for a remote machine, you will need to open the Administrator Interface and use the Certificate Creation Wizard locally on that machine.
If you set up secure administration over an SSL connection, you will not be able to use the COM interface from remote machines.
