You can configure HTTPS in the Performance Manager server to monitor and manage your clusters over a secure connection.
More information
Viewing the HTTPS security certificate
You can compare the HTTPS certificate details to the retrieved certificate in your browser to ensure that your browser's encrypted connection to Performance Manager is not being intercepted. You can also view the certificate to verify the content of a regenerated certificate or to view alternate URL names from which you can access Performance Manager.
Generating an HTTPS security certificate
You might generate a new HTTPS security certificate for multiple reasons, including if you want to sign with a different Certificate Authority or if the current security certificate has expired. The new certificate replaces the existing certificate.
Downloading an HTTPS certificate signing request
You can download a certification request for the current HTTPS security certificate so that you can provide the file to a Certificate Authority to sign. A CA-signed certificate helps prevent man-in-the-middle attacks and provides better security protection than a self-signed certificate.
Installing an HTTPS security certificate
You can upload and install a security certificate after a Certificate Authority has signed and returned it. The file that you upload and install must be a signed version of the existing self-signed certificate. A CA-signed certificate helps prevent man-in-the middle attacks and provides better security protection than a self-signed certificate.
