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.
