WhatsUp Gold install the SSL certificates and keys needed to immediately begin connecting to the SSL web server using 128 bit encryption.
The SSL files included with WhatsUp Gold (root.pem and server.pem) are installed with every copy of WhatsUp Gold as a demonstration of how SSL can be used to encrypt web traffic. If you choose to use these default files, your encrypted session can be intercepted and decrypted by anyone who has access to these files.
You should replaced 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 will generate a Domain Name Mismatch Security Error every time a new browser session is established.
