Use this page to create a digital security certificate for your site, so that you can run the server using the security features provided by the HTTPS and SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) protocols. You must create a security certificate as a prerequisite to running the server in a secure session.
After you create the certificate, go to the Basic Configuration page, change the protocol to HTTPS, and restart the server to have your changes take affect. To view information about the security certificate, return to this page.
Note: The site certificate is valid for 90 days from the date it is created. (Renewing the certificate is not supported in Alpha2.) In a future release, Jeeves will support security certificates generated by a Certificate Authority. The Certificate Authority determines the length of time that the certificate is valid.
Company
Identifies your company name.
Department
Identifies the department or organization within the company that this server supports.
Country
Identifies the country in which the company operates. Enter a two-letter country code that identifies the country, as specified in the list of Internet standard geographic zones. For example, CH identifies Switzerland; US identifies the United States.
RSA Key Size
Choose the security level that you want the server to provide. Choose Low Security if you want to allow secure data transfer with clients outside the United States. Choosing a higher RSA encryption level provides greater security but can result in slower server performance. Medium security is the recommended choice.
Generate Certificate
Creates a self-signed security certificate. This certificate allows the server to authenticate itself to clients.
