Replacing the Default Secure-site Certificate
When you log onto the Web interface using HTTPS (for secure access), a 
Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) certificate appears for the switch. By default, 
the certificate that Netscape and Internet Explorer display will be 
associated with a warning that the site is not recognized as a secure site. 
This is because the certificate has not been signed by an approved 
certification authority. If you want this warning to be replaced by a 
message confirming that the connection to the switch is secure, you must 
obtain a unique certificate and a private key and password from a 
recognized certification authority. 
Caution: For maximum security, we recommend you obtain a unique   
Secure Sockets Layer certificate at the earliest opportunity. 
This is because the default certificate for the switch is not 
unique to the hardware you have purchased.
