For HTTPS (secure HTTP based on SSL) to work, an SSL certificate must be present on the OnBoard appliance, so a self-signed certificate is automatically generated. To reduce the risks posed by weaknesses inherent in self-signed certificates, OnBoard appliance administrators are strongly advised to replace the automatically-generated self-signed certificate with an SSL certificate from an official certificate authority (CA). See To replace the self-signed certificate with one from a certificate authority: for the procedure.
