12.5 Enabling Repeater SSL Encryption

Roles that Can Perform This Task: Cloud Administrator

To enable SSL encryption of VNC traffic between your browser and the VNC repeater (making it difficult for an outside entity to intercept and analyze activity between your browser and the repeater):

  1. On the main navigation bar, click Configuration, then click the Remote Console tab.

  2. Select the Enable Repeater SSL Encryption check box.

  3. In the Repeater Keystore field, enter the path to a Java keystore where the SSL key to the VNC Repeater is stored.

    By default, this field is populated from the original Cloud Manager SSL configuration (if that option was chosen).

  4. In the Keystore Password field, enter the password to the Java keystore where the SSL key to the VNC Repeater is stored.

    By default, this field is populated from the original Cloud Manager SSL configuration (if that option was chosen).

  5. (Conditional) If you select the built-in repeater, specify the path to the repeater keystore and passwords. The first password (required) opens the keystore file. The second password (optional) retrieves the private key within the file. The need for the second password depends on the settings you used when you generated the keystore.

    NOTE: The fields on this page validate the keystore and passwords as you make changes: if you enter an incorrect password, the field displays a red asterisk.

  6. Click OK.
