Verify WebSEAL

We can use a browser to verify that WebSEAL is operating properly.

To verify, enter the following URL into your browser:

https://webseal-machinename

Because a port number is not specified, it is assumed that WebSEAL is listening on port 443 (HTTPS). Your browser might give you the following warnings:

1. The certificate received from this Web server is issued by a company that we have not yet chosen to trust
2. The name within the certificate received from WebSEAL does not match the name of the system from which it was received

If these warnings occur, they indicate that you did not yet purchase our own server certificate for our WebSEAL server. Your browser is complaining that it received a default server certificate from WebSEAL which contains default names for the issuing certificate authority and the name of the Web server.

Next, the browser prompts us to specify an ISAM user name and password. Enter sec_master for the user name and the password that we configured for sec_master during installation. If authentication is successful, an image that is labeled Security Verify Access for WebSEAL displays.
