Click to expand

A certificate for the HTTPS/SSL connection between the ESET Inspect Web Console and the web browser is required for a successful installation of the ESET Inspect Server. During the installation, you are prompted to use one. You can either import the certificate from a file or use one from ESET PROTECT On-Prem. If you choose to use an ESET PROTECT On-Prem certificate, you can select an existing one or create a new one directly from the installer.

You can also create the certificate in ESET PROTECT On-Prem.

After you set up the ESET Inspect Web Console HTTPS/SSL certificate, continue to configure the ESET Inspect Connector-side certificate. You can choose one of the following options:


Solution

Requirements for the ESET Inspect Web Console HTTPS/SSL certificate
  • The ESET Inspect Web Console HTTPS/SSL certificate must be signed using the SHA-2 algorithm.
  • Certificates created in ESET PROTECT On-Prem must have Advanced security enabled. Advanced security can be enabled for a certificate in ESET PROTECT On-Prem through More → Settings → Connection.
  • The Certification Authority that signed the certificate must be trusted by the web browser you use to access the Web Console. To make the Certification Authority trusted, add it to the Web Browser HTTPS/SSL certification list on the computer/server where you want to access the Web Console.

If these requirements are not met, the web browser will display a warning when you attempt to connect to the ESET Inspect Web Console.
