How to Encrypt Communications Between Your Browser and DXmanager or JXweb

You should encrypt communications between your browser and DXmanager or JXweb, because these communications might include sensitive information, including port numbers, DSA passwords, and DSA console passwords.

To secure these communications, use SSL between your browser and DXwebserver, as shown in the following diagram:

An SSL-encrypted link between a browser and DXwebserver

  1. Create a keystore for DXmanager.
  2. Create a Certificate Signing Request (CSR) using the command dxcertgen certreq
  3. Send the CSA to a trusted certificate authority to verify and sign.
  4. (Optional - Windows only) Update any shortcuts to DXwebserver with the SSL connection details.
