Use the Security > HTTPS (Copy Certificate) page to replace the default
secure-site certificate.
When you log onto the web interface using HTTPS (for secure access), a
Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) certificate appears for the switch. By default,
the certificate that the web browser displays will be associated with a
warning that the site is not recognized as a secure site. This is because the
certificate has not been signed by an approved certification authority. If
you want this warning to be replaced by a message confirming that the
connection to the switch is secure, you must obtain a unique certificate and
a private key and password from a recognized certification authority.
For maximum security, we recommend you obtain a unique

AUTION
Secure Sockets Layer certificate at the earliest opportunity. This is because
the default certificate for the switch is not unique to the hardware you have
purchased.
When you have obtained these, place them on your TFTP server and
transfer them to the switch to replace the default (unrecognized) certificate
with an authorized one.
The switch must be reset for the new certificate to be activated. To
