Access to the administration user interface (also known as the Admin UI) is authenticated with a dedicated SSL certificate. The SHA-1 fingerprint of the SSL certificate is displayed on the command line after you finish using the configure script and have completed the installation. The SHA-1 fingerprint is useful for the following purposes:

- To verify the SSL certificate when connecting with a Web browser for the first time.
- To verify the authenticity of Traffic Manager identities when joining a cluster.

When you set up a new Traffic Manager, Ivanti recommends noting the SHA-1 fingerprint. You can also display the fingerprint from the virtual machine command line using the following command:
$ZEUSHOME/admin/bin/cert -f fingerprint -in $ZEUSHOME/admin/etc/admin.public
