8.4 HTTP/HTTPS
By default, both http and https are enabled, however, http and/or https access to the receiver
can be disabled through the web interface by going to the Communication/Web Server page
or using the
setHttpsSetting command. Secure http access requires the user to provide a
certi fi cate to the receiver which can be done by again navigating to the Communication/Web
Server page of the web interface as shown in Figure 8-7, and uploading a .pem fi le containing
the certi fi cate. By default, if no user-provided certi fi cate is available, the receiver will use a
self-signed certi fi cate instead.
