An SSL Certificate must be configured in order for the HTTP Server to listen on the HTTPS Port. This certificate can be created elsewhere and uploaded to the device or automatically generated on the device. A certificate generated on the device will be self-signed.

If uploading an existing SSL Certificate, take care to ensure the Private Key will not be compromised in transit. This implies the data is uploaded over some kind of secure private network.

WARNING: When generating a new self-signed SSL Certificate, using a large Bit Size will result in a VERY LONG key generation time. Tests on this hardware have shown it can take upwards of:

2 minutes for a 512 bit RSA Key
5 minutes for a 768 bit RSA Key
15 minutes for a 1024 bit RSA key
