Info

Displays the server's IP address and port number. The IP address that client is currently using to connect to the server is displayed at the top of the list with the icon .
  • If multiple IP addresses are configured on the PC where the server is installed for network segmentation, all of the PC's IP addresses will be displayed.
Note: Supported only on BLAZE desktop.

Hardware

Displays the hardware model name and serial number of the BLAZE appliance.
Note: Supported only on BLAZE Appliance.

Software

Displays the software version of the server.

Cloud

You can check the status of the cloud connected to the server.
  • Cloud availability: Indicates the connection status between the server and the cloud. When connected, "Available" is displayed.
  • Server status: Indicates whether you registered the server for use in other portal apps.
    Note: Cloud items display only if the system is linked to the cloud. For more information, see Cloud.

Certificate

BLAZE uses SSL certificates to authenticate the server ID. This encryption enhances security for communication between the client and server. In the Certificate section, you can check the status, validity period, and issuing authority of the certificate stored on the server.
  • Click the BLAZE icon to open the Server Certificate dialog. In the Server certificate dialog, you can view the certificate type, fingerprint, and serial number.

Understanding the server’s authentication status

The icon displayed next to each server indicates the server status.
  • Valid: Server authenticated
  • Expired: Server certificate expired or revoked
  • Invalid: Server certificate unavailable

Replacing the certificate

The SSL certificate for the BLAZE server can be replaced by copying a new certificate file (.crt) and its corresponding private key file (.key) to the designated folder, followed by restarting the server.

  1. Prepare a new pair of certificate (.crt) and private key (.key) files.
  2. Delete the currently used certificate file (.crt), and copy the new certificate pair to the following folder:
    • Windows: <%INSTALLER.NAME%>\cert
    • Ubuntu: <%INSTALLER.NAME%>/cert
Note: To apply the new certificate, the BLAZE server must be restarted after the file copy is completed.

If multiple certificate pairs (.crt and .key) are copied to the designated folder, the BLAZE server validates each certificate and selects the one with the longest validity period among the valid certificates. Any unused files are automatically deleted.
