Certificates

Install certificates so you can connect to the Guardium® GUI, and for Guardium-S-TAP® communication. Check certificates regularly, so you can update them before they expire.

Installing an appliance certificate to avoid a browser SSL certificate challenge
Use Guardium CLI commands to create a certificate signing request (CSR), and to install server, certificate authority (CA), or trusted path certificates on your Guardium system. Installing certificates allows your site to connect to the Guardium GUI without security warnings such as This site is not secure, or Your connection is not private.
Configuring Guardium-S-TAP communication using an SSL certificate
Create and store an SSL certificate for Guardium-S-TAP communication.
Identify expired certificates and certificates that will expire within six months
Expired certificates result in a loss of function. Check certificates regularly to identify certificates that are already expired, and certificates that will expire in the next six months.
Managing certificates by using Venafi
Use Venafi to generate and manage GUI, Sniffer, and GIM certificates in your stand-alone or central manager environment.
