The STB Staging Management interface is synchronous, so the remote STB staging
client is always the HTTP client and the DNCS STB staging web service is always the
HTTP server. To implement HTTPS for the STB Staging Management interface, the
STB staging client must support SSL/TLS as a client. If the STB staging client does
not support SSL/TLS, or if the feature is not required, the DNCS STB staging web
service must be configured to allow HTTP transactions from the STB staging client.
Client authentication is not enabled by default for the DNCS STB staging web
service. A username and password can be created to limit access to the DNCS STB
staging web service when configured for either HTTP or HTTPS.
