If you enable HTTPS, you must indicate this in the URL that you
specify in your browser: https://device[:port_number]
•
When you start HTTPS, the connection is established in this way:
- The client authenticates the server using the server's digital
certificate.
- The client and server negotiate a set of security protocols to use for
the connection.
- The client and server generate session keys for encrypting and
decrypting data.
•
The client and server establish a secure encrypted connection.
A padlock icon should appear in the status bar for Internet Explorer
