TLS Encryption

The Media Gateway/SRT Gateway web interface is encrypted to provide secure interactions with your devices. When you access the web interface, you are automatically redirected to use HTTPS on port 443. As a result, your web browser requests the security certificate to confirm that the site is trusted. Media Gateway/SRT Gateway ships with a self-signed TLS 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.

Supplying the Media Gateway/SRT Gateway with an TLS security certificate eliminates the security warning, provides a means for users to verify a website, and ensures that the connection is secure. See Certificates for more details.
