68 Understanding BCM SSL certificate propertiesN0008589 3.3Figure 1 Security Alert dialog (JVM)4 Click Yes.The first page of the Unified Manager appears. Refer to “Using the Unified Manager mainpage buttons” on page 72.Understanding BCM SSL certificate propertiesWhen you first run the BCM version 3.7 software, you will note that the default Web access to theBusiness Communications Manager now utilizes SSL encryption for system security (BCM 3.5and newer software). This includes the appearance of a security alert when you initiate aconnection to the Unified Manager using SSL, which indicates site validation of the defaultcertificate.This security alert does not appear if you:• add a site-specific certificate (“Uploading a certificate and a private security key” on page 69)• suppress the message on your client browser (“Suppressing the security alert message” onpage 71)• use the non-SSL port (http:6800) (“Using the non-secure http:6800 port” on page 71)The self-signed certificate that is included in the BCM version 3.7 software enables SSLencryption functionality, providing the necessary encryption keys. However, it does not addresssite authentication. Site authentication requires system-specific information such as an IP address,company name, and so on.Note: Client applications do not need to install the certificate. The Business CommunicationsManager sends the certificate when it accesses the client application.
