Enable encryption to and from the management server
You can encrypt the two-way connection between the management server and the data collector affiliated when you have a remote server of the following type:
Recording Server
Event Server
Log Server
LPR Server
Mobile Server
If your system contains multiple recording servers or remote servers, you must enable encryption on all of them.
Note
When you configure encryption for a server group, it must either be enabled with a certificate belonging to the same CA certificate or, if the encryption is disabled, then it must be disabled on all computers in the server group.
First, enable encryption on the management server.
Note
Prerequisite: A server authentication certificate is trusted on the computer that hosts the management server
Steps:
On a computer with a management server installed, open the Server Configurator from:
The Windows Start menu
or
By right-clicking the Management Server Manager icon on the computer task bar
In the Server Configurator, under Server certificate, turn on Еncryption.
Click Select certificate to open a list with unique subject names of certificates that have a private key and that are installed on the local computer in the Windows Certificate Store.
Select a certificate to encrypt communication between the recording server, management server, failover server, and data collector server.
Select Details to view Windows Certificate Store information about the selected certificate.
Click Apply.
To complete the enabling of encryption, the next step is to update the encryption settings on each recording server and each server that has a data collector (Event Server, Log Server, LPR Server, and Mobile Server).
