   The Network Discovery Gateways page appears, and displays the existing NDG servers.

2. Click the check box next to one or more servers you want to secure, then select Secure Network Discovery Gateways from the Select Actions drop-down list.

   The Secure Network Discovery Gateway dialog appears.

3. Enter the following information in the appropriate field, then click OK:

   Agent Certificate Password

   Specifies the password associated with the agent certificate when it was created.

   Confirm Password

   Ensures the certificate password was entered correctly by requiring that the passwords match.

   Certificate Authority

   Specifies the password associated with the certificate authority when it was created.

   The connection is secured and a check mark appears in the Is Secure column of the Network Discovery Gateways table.
