SSL Overview
The Secure Socket Layer (SSL) feature is used to open an HTTPS session to the device.
An HTTPS session may be opened with the default certificate that exists on the device.
Some browsers generate warnings when using a default certificate, since this certificate is not
signed by a Certification Authority (CA). It is best practice to have a certificate signed by a
trusted CA.
To open an HTTPS session with a user-created certificate, perform the following actions:
1. Generate a certificate.
2. Request that the certificate be certified by a CA.
3. Import the signed certificate into the device.
By default, the device contains a certificate that can be modified.
HTTPS is enabled by default.
