TLS connection

The client should specify HTTPS as the protocol to ensure TLS is used on the network to protect sensitive data. If the client specifies HTTP, it will be redirected to HTTPS to ensure that TLS is used.

The appliance certificate, which the client requires, allows the TLS connection to succeed. A convenient way to obtain a certificate is to use a browser pointed at the appliance; for more information on obtaining a certificate with a browser, see Managing certificates from a browser.
