[Certificate Verification Settings]
[Verify certificates during HTTPS communication between manager and agents]
Select this check box to verify the certificate when performing encrypted communication from the Manager to the Agent if the Agent of this software is running on a computer other than the computer where the Manager of this software is running.
You can select [Verify certificates during HTTPS communication between manager and agents] if all the following conditions are met:
A valid certificate is registered on the computer where the Manager of this software is running, and the Manager is configured to use the certificate
A valid certificate is registered on all computers where the Agent of this software is running, and all Agents are configured to use the certificate. (If an Agent is running on both the computer where the Manager of this software is running and on a different computer, the Agent running on the computer where the Manager is running must also be configured to use the certificate.)
For details on registering certificates and configuring the Manager and Agent, see the following.
NOTE |
If a valid certificate is registered on the computer where the Agent of this software is running and the Agent is configured to use the certificate, this software always verifies the certificate when performing encrypted communication from the Agent to the Manager, regardless of whether the [Verify certificates during HTTPS communication between manager and agents] check box is selected. |
[Certificates for HTTPS Communication]
In this list, you can check the certificates used by the Manager and the Agent.
Immediately after installing the Manager and Agent of this software, only the self-signed certificate included with this software is displayed in the list. If this certificate is used, communication is still encrypted, but because it is a self-signed certificate, [Invalid] is displayed in the [Verify Certificate] field. If you want to verify the certificate when performing communication between the Manager and Agent, it is necessary to use an authorized certificate.
If a certificate other than a self-signed certificate is registered on the computer where the Manager or the Agent of this software is running, and the Manager or the Agent is configured to use that certificate, then the certificate will be displayed in the list.
