HTTPS
HTTPS protocol allows creating a secure channel over an
insecure network in order to protect the data sent between
the device and its counterpart. Two things are required to have a secure communication –
encrypted data, and verified counterpart of the communication. To make sure that the messages
are being sent and received from true counterpart, the certificate is needed.
There are two methods to create certificates – Certificate Signing Request (CSR) and
Self-Signed Certificate .

Certificate Signing Request (CSR) : User uses a signed certificate issued by trusted
Certification Authority (CA).

Self-Signed Certificate : User wants to use the certificate created and issued by user
himself.
Click Create or Create Self-Signed Certificate button and configure settings in the pop-up
screen to install the certificate.
Note that the new setting will only take effect after Save & Reboot .
