HTTPS refers to HTTP over a secure SSL connection. To use HTTPS you can simply enter a URL of “https://xxxxx” instead of “http://xxxxxx”. Your NetBurner device can simultaneously run both HTTP and HTTPS access to the web server. HTTPS requires both a Certificate and a RSA public/private Key. The key must match the certificate and if you are creating your own self signed certificate or purchasing a certificate from a certificate authority, both the certificate and key must be uploaded at the same time. If you are creating your own certificate, called a self-signed certificate, anyone accessing the secure web page will first receive a warning message from the web browser asking to confirm whether or not the certificate should be accepted. For detailed information on the NetBurner SSL implementation, please refer to the NetBurner SSL product datasheet at www.netburner.com.There are 3 possible key/certificate configurations. The first two are present so the system is functional if you have not uploaded your own user created certificate and key.
