SSL Encryption

Haivision Media Platform is encrypted to provide secure interactions with your devices. When you sign into the HMP interface, you are automatically redirected to the HTTPS site using port 443. As a result, the browser requests the security certificate to confirm that the site is trusted. 

HMP ships with a self-signed Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) certificate key set which works with any configured server hostname. However, web browsers do not consider self-signed certificates to be trusted, because they are not signed by a Certificate Authority. Consequently, when accessing the website with a self-signed certificate, users see a security warning and are prompted for authorization as shown below.

Supplying HMP with an SSL security certificate eliminates the security warning, provides a means for users to verify a website, and ensures that the connection is secure. See Managing Certificates for more details.
