Manage Hub credentials
Each Hub has its own certificate that the Manager uses to authenticate the Hub. When a Hub found on your network has a certificate that matches a certificate in the Manager, the Manager attempts to connect to the Hub.
You can manually add, update, or remove the certificate associated with a Hub in the AnywhereUSB Manager in the Manage Hub Credentials dialog. This enables you to ensure that a Hub can securely connect to the AnywhereUSB Manager. When you open the dialog, the serial number of each Hub is listed, as well as the expiration date for the certificate associated with the serial number.
A Hub is highlighted in the Manage Hub Credentials dialog when its certificate needs attention:
-
Yellow: The certificate expires in 90 days or less.
-
Red: The certificate has expired.
Auto-register Hub Cert option
The Auto-register Hub Cert option determines whether a Hub's certificate is automatically registered with a AnywhereUSB Manager. When the Manager attempts to connect to a Hub in the list, the Hub provides a certificate. If the Manager doesn't have the Hub's certificate, the Manager's connection outcome depends on the status of the Auto-register Hub Cert option.
-
If Auto-register Hub Cert is enabled, the Manager stores the Hub certificate and connects to the Hub.
-
If Auto-register Hub Cert is disabled, the Manager rejects the connection the Hub.
For detailed information, see Configure the Auto-register Hub Cert feature.
