edgeGate supports the HTTPs protocol, which provides a secure and encrypted transfer of sensitive
data such as passwords so the data cannot be read by another network user. In addition, HTTPs uses
a certificate to identify the server. At Softing we use the OPC UA Server certificate that has been
generated before the last reboot.
