Management and Security
A CMA system operating in maximum security mode offers a Management
and Security workflow. The following sections describe the changes.
Server Software Upgrade
The Server Software Upgrade workflow on a CMA system operating in
maximum security mode has not changed.
Certificate Management
Because a CMA system operating in maximum security mode always operates
in encrypted mode, the Use HTTPS is not an option on the Certificate
Management page.
By default, to support encrypted communications and establish a minimum
level of trust, the CMA system includes a default key and self-signed
certificate. However, to implement a full certificate chain to a root certificate
authority (CA), a CMA system requires both a root CA certificate and a
identity server certificate signed by the root CA. Therefore, at some time you
must request these certificates from your CA. The question is when.
You must install the root CA certificate during First Time Setup. However, you
can complete First Time Setup with just the root CA certificate and the CMA
system default self-signed certificate. Then you can use the Certificate
Management page to finish certificate set up.
