                              ---

                      Default SSL Settings

If you are upgrading from a version previous to 3.2.2, SSL will be 
disabled and the default port will be set to 80. To enable SSL 
encryption, first copy your current Remote Access Filter for web 
access, change the port number to 443 and enable it without 
disabling your old filter. Save the section. Next, default and save 
the Remote Admin/Authentication function under Authorization and 
save the section. This will enable all encryption and change the 
server port to 443. Once SSL encryption is activated on port 443, 
you can delete your old web access filter.

installation floppies.
