Configuring Security Settings

Updating SSL Certificate

This certificate is needed to establish secure communication with the Enterprise Manager website using HTTPS. You can specify path to existing certificate or generate a new self-signed certificate during Enterprise Manager installation. In case of installing on the same machine with Enterprise Manager, this certificate will be also used by Veeam plug-in for vSphere Web Client and RestAPI client to receive data using HTTPS protocol.  

If you need to update SSL certificate, consider that:

• To update Enterprise Manager certificate, you can use Internet Information Services (IIS) Manager, following instructions from Microsoft (https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc732230(v=ws.10).aspx ).
• For RestAPI, certificate should be updated using the netsh command, as described here.
