Secure HyperText Transfer Protocol (HTTPs)

What is HTTPs?

HTTPs is an adaptation of the HTTP protocol. It is commonly used for security when sending sensitive data over a network.

HTTPs protects against an intermediary being able to intercept data between devices. HTTPs uses data encryption and Public Key Cryptography to create a secured channel.

Using HTTPs with LQ Series 4.0 and above units involves:

• Installing a security certificate on the browser used to reach the Core Configuration Manager (CCM) of the LQ devices
• Redirecting IP traffic to the HTTPs port (443) using the Force HTTPs feature. This feature is found in the CCM of each device. The default setting for this feature is Disabled.
