Configuring SSL certificates
If the MCU has the Secure management (HTTPS) or Encryption feature key installed, and you enable
Secure web on the Network > Services page, you will be able to access the web interface of the
MCU using HTTPS. The MCU has a local certificate and private key pre-installed and this will be used
by default when you access the unit using HTTPS. However, we recommend that you upload your
own certificate and private key to ensure security as all MCUs have identical default certificates and
keys.
