Chapter 11 Configuring Security Manager Administrative Settings
IPS Updates Page
Edit Update Server Settings Dialog Box
Use the Edit Update Server Settings dialog box to configure the server to use for obtaining IPS updates.
If necessary, you can configure a proxy server for communicating with the update server.
Also, use the Edit Update Server Settings dialog box for certificate trust management. (Security Manager
downloads IPS packages from Cisco.com over HTTPS, which uses certificates for establishing trust.)
The certificate trust management feature on the Image Manager page is new in Security Manager 4.4. It
will help you with improved handling of Cisco.com certificates for IPS package downloads:
• You can use it to view a certificate and use discretion in accepting it.
• After you accept a certificate, it is stored on your Security Manager server.
• You can see all your certificates in a summary table on the Image Manager page, and you can use
that table to view or remove certificates.
Tip Please be sure to refer to "Retrieve Certificate" in the table below.
Navigation Path
Select Tools > Security Manager Administration > IPS Updates and click Edit Settings in the Update
Server group.
