When no port handle SSL, SSL features are disabled in dashboard

The SSL support in Artica v 2.x is drived by the “Ports” section.

The ports section allows you to create a port and/or define SSL options inside the defined port.

With Connected mode:

  • Update: Decrypt SSL the proper way
  • To enable SSL with  connected mode, you did not need to create a dedicated port, just open the current used port.
  • Turn On the “Use SSL Encryption” option.
  • Select the certificate.
  • Apply the ports settings.
