SSL Support
The PowerConnect Cloud web ui can be secured with SSL. An external web server must be configured to do the ssl offload. Follow the steps below relevant to your environment.
AWS
In AWS we can use an Elastic Load Balancer (ELB) to perform the SSL offload and secure the PowerConnect web ui:
Generate a SSL certificate using ACM or another certificate provider
Create an ELB
Login to your AWS account
Browse to the EC2 service
In the menu on the left choose Load Balancers
Click the Create Load Balancer button
Click Create in the Application Load Balancer section
Give the ELB a name, choose HTTPs as the listener and pick which VPC and availability zones to create the ELB in
Click Next
Choose the certificate you created earlier (either through ACM or by uploading) and the Security Policy (ELBSecurityPolicy-2016-08 is the default)
Click Next
Create a new security group which allows inbound https traffic on port 443
Click Next
Create a new Target Group
Click Next
Add the PowerConnect Cloud instances to the registered targets using port 3000
Click Review then Create and the infrastructure should then be provisioned
The PowerConnect web ui should now be available on https://<your-elb-address>
