Enabling SSL Encrypted Communication for the Remote UI

You can encrypt communication between the machine and a Web browser on the computer by using Secure Sockets Layer (SSL). SSL is a mechanism for encrypting data sent or received over the network. SSL must be enabled when the Remote UI is used for specifying settings for IPSec (Pre-Shared Key Method), IEEE 802.1X authentication (TTLS/PEAP), or SNMPv3. To use SSL for the Remote UI, you need to set a key pair and enable the SSL function. Generate or install the key pair for SSL before enabling SSL (Configuring Settings for Key Pairs and Digital Certificates).
