Access to Peer Management Center's web client is through HTTPS, which ensures that all communication between the browser and the service hosting the web client is encrypted.  However, you may want to take additional actions to secure access to Peer Management Center's web client:

•You can limit users' access to the web client when you configure the hostname or IP address for web access.  For example, enter localhost or 127.0.0.1 if you want the web client to be accessible only to users of the local server via the loopback interface.  See Configuring the Web and API Services for more details.

•While HTTPS access to the web client is secured out of the box with a built-in Transport Layer Security (TLS) certificate, this certificate can be swapped for a custom one.  See TLS Certificates in Advanced Topics for information on using existing certificates and creating new certificates.

•The default password for the admin account should be changed immediately.  See Editing an Internal User for information about changing the password.
