Note: Use TLS 1.2 SSL Certificate.
SSL Private Key (server.key)
This file is the server private key, and it is usually not revealed. The server.key file is paired with the server.crt file to
decrypt data encrypted by the SSL certificate.
Note: The passphrase for the private key must be removed before importing to the TeraStation.
Updating SSL Key Files
To update a server certificate and a private key for SSL, follow this procedure.
1 From Settings, click Management.
2 Click the settings icon ( ) to the right of “SSL”.
3 Register “server.key” for “Secret Key” and “server.crt” for “Server Certificate (.crt)”, then click Import.
4 The process is complete once you close the confirmation window that appears.
Notes:
• Place the SSL key files (server.key, server.crt) directly below the C root drive. The SSL key files may be unable to be
updated if they are placed in folders or paths that contain multibyte characters.
• If Settings cannot be displayed after updating, initialize the TeraStation settings.
• Updating the firmware initializes an SSL key.
Boot Authentication
Boot authentication allows you to authenticate the TeraStation while it’s booting, and also prevents the TeraStation
from being used in an unauthorized or unexpected manner, such as in cases of theft.
If authentication fails, the TeraStation will stay on, but all functions and services are stopped. Users will not be able
to log in to Settings to make changes or access any shares.
