Specifying the SSL Encrypted Communication Settings

SMS uses SSL encrypted communication. To use SMS, you need to set the key pair and server certificate as the default key in advance. A preinstalled key pair and server certificate are registered in the machine.

NOTE
If you try to access SMS without the default key set, 'HTTP 500 Internal Server Error' is displayed and login fails. By setting the default key, SMS will always use encrypted SSL communications, regardless of whether [Use SSL] in [MEAP Settings] in [Management Settings] (Settings/Registration) is set to 'On' or 'Off'.
