About the WhatsUp Gold default SSL certificates
Important: If you want to implement SSL certificates, refer to Microsoft or other trusted
resources for more information. Following are suggested IIS and SSL resources: SSL and
Certificates (IIS 6) (http://www.whatsupgold.com/wug_SSLcert_IIS6) and Configuring Server
Certificates in IIS 7 (http://www.whatsupgold.com/wug_SSLcert_IIS7).
You should replace the default certificates with new SSL certificates that you generate and
sign. These sample files reside in the \Data\SSL
directory. Also, since the sample certificate is issued with Ipswitch as the Common Name, it
will generate a Domain Name Mismatch Security Error every time a new browser session is
established.
Important: To acquire a valid SSL certificate, refer to an SSL certificate provider such as
VeriSign. For more information, see the to WhatsUp Gold KB article for using a 3rd-party SSL
certificate with the WhatsUp Gold web interface (http://whatsup.custhelp.com/cgibin/whatsup.cfg/php/enduser/std_adp.php?p_faqid=231&p_created=1223481560&p_sid=j
