SSL Connection Settings
The SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) protocol enables authenticated and
encrypted communication between clients and servers.
Before anyone can connect to a server the system administrator must
make available a copy of the root certificate used to sign the server’s
identity certificate and the number of the telnet port the server is
listening on (the default for secure telnet is
992 ).
Additionally the system administrator may issue each user or
terminal with their own password protected client certificate.
