5. Click Sign In. The HP UPS Network Module web interface appears. Browser security alert Secure browsing requires the use of SSL. SSL is a protocol layer that lies between HTTP and TCP that provides secure communication between a server and a client, and is designed to provide privacy and message integrity. SSL is commonly used in web-based transactions to authenticate the web server, which indisputably identifies the server to the browser. SSL also provides an encrypted channel of communication between the server and the browser. The encrypted channel ensures the integrity of the data between the web server and the browser, so that data can neither be viewed nor modified while in transit. The UPS Network Module uses a system generated and unique key. An integral part of SSL is a security certificate, which identifies the UPS Network Module. If your browser displays a security alert when browsing to the UPS Network Module, it can be for one of several reasons: • The certificate is untrusted, meaning it was signed by a certifying authority that is unknown to your browser. • The certificate has expired or is not yet valid. This condition can occur if you issue your own certificate and it has expired. • The name on the certificate does not match the name of the site in the browser address field. For more information about security considerations, see "Security considerations overview (on page 67)." Establishing a secure session for Internet Explorer The first time you browse to the UPS Network Module, the Secure Session screen appears. To ensure a secure connection, verify that you are browsing to the desired UPS Network Module: 1. Click View Certificate. 2. Verify that the name in the Issued To field is the name of your UPS Network Module. HP UPS Network Module web interface 17

Browser security alert
Secure browsing requires the use of SSL. SSL is a protocol layer that lies between HTTP and TCP that provides
secure communication between a server and a client, and is designed to provide privacy and message
integrity. SSL is commonly used in web-based transactions to authenticate the web server, which indisputably
identifies the server to the browser. SSL also provides an encrypted channel of communication between the
server and the browser. The encrypted channel ensures the integrity of the data between the web server and
the browser, so that data can neither be viewed nor modified while in transit. The UPS Network Module uses
a system generated and unique key.
An integral part of SSL is a security certificate, which identifies the UPS Network Module. If your browser
displays a security alert when browsing to the UPS Network Module, it can be for one of several reasons:
•
The certificate is untrusted, meaning it was signed by a certifying authority that is unknown to your
browser.
•
The certificate has expired or is not yet valid. This condition can occur if you issue your own certificate
and it has expired.
•
The name on the certificate does not match the name of the site in the browser address field.
