Buffalo TS-6VH6.0TL/R6EU [68/75] 1 server crt ssl certificate

• SSL Key

Note:

This procedure is described for network administrators and advanced users. Do not try to congure this unless you

know exactly what you’re doing.

You may use encrypted keys such as https and FTPS for the Web Admin interface operations and FTP connections.

SSL (Secure Socket Layer) is a public key encryption method. SSL operation is managed by 2 les:

(1) server.crt (SSL Certicate)

TeraStation will send this certicate to other computers, which will use it as a key for encryption. The TeraStation will

then receive encrypted data and use the server.key (SSL Key) to decrypt them.

This key includes Server Certicate on SSL, and your PC may decide if the certicate can be trusted or not. Your

computer may display the message “There is a problem with the site’s security certicate.”

(2) server.key (SSL Key)

This is used to decrypt data encrypted by the server certicate.

Note:

Prepare the decrypted passphrase for the server.key (SSL Key).

Updating SSL Key

To update a server certicate and a private key for SSL, follow the procedure below.

1 In the Web Admin interface, navigate to [Network] - [Settings] - [Network Services] - [Add/Edit SSL Key].

2 Register server.key for [SSL Key] and server.crt for [SSL Certicate], then click [Import].

Note:

Save SSL key les (server.key and server.crt) on the root of Drive C. They should not be saved in a folder or path whose

name includes multi-byte or special characters.

You’ve updated the SSL key.

Notes:

• The SSL key should not be password protected.

• If the Web Admin interface isn’t accessible after updating, initialize the TeraStation.

• Updating the rmware will initialize an SSL key.
