Enabling SSL Encrypted Communication for the Remote UI
Authorized users may incur unanticipated losses from attacks by malicious third parties, such as sniffing, spoofing, and tampering of data as it flows over a network. To protect your valuable data, you can encrypt Remote UI communication between the machine and a Web browser on the computer by using Secure Sockets Layer (SSL). SSL is a mechanism for encrypting data sent or received over the network. SSL must be enabled when the Remote UI is used to make settings for SNMPv3. To use SSL for the Remote UI, you need to set a key pair and enable the SSL function. Have a key pair ready to use (Configuring Settings for Key Pairs and Digital Certificates).

When you use SSL to encrypt communication with the Remote UI, set the time data of the machine. You can use either of the following methods to set the time data.
Use a network time server to adjust the machine's system clock Configuring SNTP
Notify the machine of the currently set time on your computer Synchronizing to the time set on the computer
