SSL Certificate Management

You can generate and activate SSL certificates for a LogLogic appliance.

There are three ways to generate and activate SSL certificates for a LogLogic appliance:

  • LogLogic signed certificate—the appliance creates and activates its own certificate and private key
  • Certificate Authority (CA) certificate—a CA is used to provide the root and signed (reply) certificates; the appliance private key is used
  • Other certificate—the appliance uses certificates and a private key that you generate and provide from a source other than the first two options
Important: After upgrading to LogLogic LMI version 6.2.0 or later, it is recommended to regenerate the SSL Certificate of LogLogic LMI, in order to take advantage of the latest cipher updates. As per industry best practices, insecure ciphers have been removed from the cipher list. If your Blue Coat device collects logs over HTTPS, you might face log collection issues due to cipher mismatch.
