AXIS M3014 - Accessing the Camera
Setting the root password over a secure connection
To gain access to the product, the password for the default administrator user root must be set. This is done in the ‘Configure
Root Password’ dialog, which is displayed when the network camera is accessed for the first time.
To prevent network eavesdropping when setting the root password
, this can be done via an encrypted HTTPS connection,
which requires an HTTPS certificate (see note below).
To set the password via a standard HTTP connection, enter it direct
ly in the first dialog shown below.
To set the password via an encrypted HTTPS
connection, follow these steps:
1. Click the Create self-signed certificate button.
2. Provide the requested information and click OK. The certificate is created and the password can now be set
securely. All traffic to and from the network camera is encrypted from this point on.
3. Enter a password and then re-enter it to confirm the spelling. Click OK. The password has now been configured.
Note:
•
HTTPS (Hypertext Transfer Protocol over SSL) is a protocol used to encrypt the traffic between web browsers and
servers. The HTTPS certificate controls the encrypted exchange of information.
• The default administrator user root cannot be deleted.
• If the password for root is lost or forgot
ten, to log in as root the network camera must be reset to the factory default
settings. See page 38.
To create an HTTPS connection,
start by clicking this button.
