There are several important things to keep in mind when it comes to securing access to Peer Management Center's web interface:

•The default admin account password should be changed immediately.  For details, see User Management.

•Access to the web interface can be in the form of both HTTP and HTTPS.  The latter will ensure that all communication between the client browser and the service hosting the web interface is encrypted.  Regardless of which is enabled, the hostname or IP address through which clients can reach the web interface can be configured to limit access.  See Setting Up the Web Interface for more details.

•While HTTPS access to the web interface is secured out of the box with a built-in certificate, this certificate can be swapped for a custom one.  For more details on this process, please contact Peer Software's support team via email: support@peersoftware.com
