Before Starting SMS (Preparations)

Before an administrator logs in to SMS, they should start the machine and follow the procedure below:

SMS always uses SSL encrypted communication. If the default key for SSL is not set in advance, you cannot log in to SMS. (See "Setting the Key Pair Used With SSL Encrypted Communications.")

IMPORTANT
By setting [Use HTTP] to 'On', you can open a necessary port. However, it is recommended that it is set to 'Off', if a port is not used. If you leave the port open, an unauthorized user may access the machine.

NOTE
By setting the default key, SMS will always use encrypted SSL communications, regardless of whether [Use SSL] in [MEAP Settings] in [Management Settings] (Settings/Registration) is set to 'On' or 'Off'.
