### White-List Settings

Table 5: Sample Configuration Data
Item Name | Description
--- | ---
session-timeout | Specify a timer value (in seconds) to be configured on the switch when a device is successfully authenticated. When the timer expires, the device is reset to unauthenticated state. Valid range is 0 to 65535. Default is 65535. When set to zero, nodes are always in authenticated state because no timer is configured on switches. This value is used when a security policy for a device does not have Schedule. This value may be preceded by a Schedule's End Date / Time. This value is used as it is when the interval between the successful authentication and a scheduled End Date / Time is less than 65535 seconds. If the interval between the successful authentication and a scheduled End Date / Time is larger than or equals to 65535 seconds, actual timeout is set to 65535 seconds.

### SSL Certificate

Register the SSL server certificate of the Web server (AMF Security) and the SSL server certificate of the whitelist authentication server installed in AMF Security.
If you want external applications to interact with AMF Security via HTTPS, you may have to install an SSL server certificate issued by a trusted certificate authority (CA).
If you want to encrypt control session between AMF Master and Whitelist Server (AMF Security), upload an SSL server certificate issued by a trusted certificate authority (CA).
"SSL Certificate" section shows a summary of the installed SSL server certificate.

Use the method best suited for your needs to get the certificate.

- If your CA provides you with intermediate CA certificates or cross root CA certificates in addition to your server certificate, concatenate those certificates into a single file then upload the file to AMF Security. Contact the CA for detailed information on how to concatenate certificate files.
- To install a certificate file, it must meet the following requirements.
