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) and Configuring Server Certificates in IIS 7.

You should replace the default certificates with new SSL certificates that you generate and sign. These sample files reside in the <WhatsUp Gold Install Directory>\Data\SSL directory. Also, since the sample certificate is issued with Ipswitch as the Common Name, it generates 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.
