Force HTTPS

If this option is enabled access to the web front-end is only possible using an HTTPS connection. The PS/2 IP-KVM switch will not listen on the HTTP port for incoming connections.

In case you want to create your own SSL certificate that is used to identify the PS/2 IP-KVM switch refer to the Section called Certificate.

KVM encryption

This option controls the encryption of the RFB protocol. RFB is used by the Remote Console to transmit both the screen data to the administrator machine and keyboard and mouse data back to the host. If set to ‘Off’ no encryption will be used. If set to `Try' the applet tries to make an encrypted connection. In case connection establishment fails for any reason an unencrypted connection will be used.

If set to “Force” the applet tries to make an encrypted connection. An error will be reported in case connection establishment fails.
