Selecting a Certificate
The Certificate Selection tab is used to choose which private key and certificate you want to use during SSL connection negotiations. If a new certificate has not been created, follow the directions for "Generating a Certificate".
- Select the host you want to use the certificate with in the Host box.
- Click the Browse (...) button next to the Private Key box to select the private key you want to use during SSL negotiation.
- Click the Browse (...) button next to the Certificate box to select the certificate you want to use during SSL negotiation. The certificate you use must have been created using the key you selected for the Private Key box.
- Enter the pass phrase associated with that certificate in both the Pass Phrase and the Pass Phrase Confirmation boxes. A pass phrase can be any combination of words, symbols, or numbers. It is case sensitive and must be written exactly the same way each time it is used.
Without the correct pass phrase in both boxes, the certificate and private key cannot be verified and the selection cannot be saved.
Clicking the Reset button erases what you have done since the last time new settings were applied.
SSL Options
WS_FTP Server provides options for SSL connections.
Host. The host the options are set on.
Certificates are requested and verified upon connection. When this option is selected, the server asks for a certificate from the user attempting to make a connection. That server then tries to verify that certificate against the certificates listed for that host on the Trusted Authorities tab. If the certificate is not listed there, for that host, then the SSL connection will fail.
Force clients to use only 128-bit SSL on this host. Select this option to only give access to the server to clients who are connecting with 128-bit SSL encryption. All other connections will be refused.
