Avira GmbH Avira Security Management Center 50 Configuration IUM Frontend Settings Activation of SSL server authentication: Avira SMC supports signed SSL certificates for all its server applications, including Avira IUM Server. Avira IUM Frontend, as client application, supports SSL server authentication (more details on the SSL feature below). 5. 7 SSL Certificates Management SSL provides secure communication using data encryption and server/ client authentication. This means that before any information is exchanged, the client has to verify the true identity of the server and the server has to verify the true identity of the client. Then the communication peers can start exchanging encrypted information. Avira SMC supports signed SSL certificates for all its server applications (Event Manager, IUM Server, SMC Server). SMC Server comes with a new tool that supports SSL certificate creation and deployment. The new SSL private keys and signed certificates are then stored in the SSL directory in SMC Server. All SMC clients (SMC Agent, IUM Frontend, SMC Frontend) support SSL server authentication. When you decide to create an individual certificate for your SMC Server and want the clients to authenticate the Server: 1.

Along with the CSR (YourNameReq. pem) the tool also creates a private key (YourNameKey. pem) for the SMC Server. Keep the private key in a safe place and send the CSR to a trusted Certificate Authority for signing.
