SSL Security

The RUCKUS ICX device supports Transport Level Security. By default, all TLS versions will be supported on devices that act as an HTTP server.

When enabled, the SSL protocol uses digital certificates and public-private key pairs to establish a secure connection via HTTPS to the RUCKUS ICX device. Digital certificates serve to prove the identity of a connecting client, and public-private key pairs provide a means to encrypt data sent between the device and the client.

Configuring SSL consists of the following tasks:

  1. If necessary, enabling the SSL server on the RUCKUS ICX device
    Note: By default https is enabled, but if https is turned off and a certificate is generated, then https will not be turned on automatically.
  2. If necessary, importing an RSA certificate and private key file from a client
