Setting up Secure HTTP connection for Web GUI

[SilverJS]

Guys,

As per a FreeNAS KB article, I have set up SSH tunneling for my connection, but wonder - should I instead use HTTPS? (SSL instead of SSH, as I understand...?)

If so, my big question - how? It's still not clear to me...

Thanks!

Hi SilverJS,

You can turn on HTTPS under "Settings -> General -> Protocol". There's no reason not to, but you might have to specify https://younas instead of just http://.

Awesome, thanks. Too easy. =)

Now - should I combine this with SSH? I tried using my previous SSH script (that worked on the normal, non-secure http) and it didn't work with https. Are they incompatible, or do I just need to dig deeper?
