You can manage the VSP One File management software domain security by uploading an SSL certificate issued by a certificate authority and a private key that allows the VSP One File management software domain use a secure protocol (https). SSL certificate and a private key secure the VSP One File management software domain, allowing users to encrypt and send sensitive information using the public key of the SSL certificate. When the information is received, VSP One File management software decrypts it using the private key.
To generate a SSL certificate you need to raise a certificate signing request (CSR) with a Certificate Authority. A CSR requires the following information for the Certificate Authority to sign and send back the certificate:
  • The fully qualified domain name (FQDN) of the VSP One File management software.
  • Organization name
  • Organization department
  • Area or locality
  • Country code, for example, US, GB, IN
  • An email address as contact information
Make sure you have a public certificate file (crt) and a private key file (key) saved locally.
  1. From the app switcher, select System Administrator.
  2. Navigate to Access > Security Options > SSL Certificate.
  3. Upload the public certificate file (crt) and the private key file (key).
    File name example: example_ssl_certificate example.com.crt and example_ ssl_certificate_key example.com.key.
  4. Click Upload.
  5. Restart the browser to apply the SSL certificate.
