You have three options when it comes to installing an SSL certificate and configuring HTTPS operation:
Do not install
You will only use HTTP access with a default port of 5353.
From a file (using an existing SSL certificate)
HTTPS access will be configured with a default port of 443. The certificate needs to be in PFX format.
Self-signed certificate
HTTPS access will be configured with a default port of 443. The certificate is self-signed, allowing you to test a browser extension. This certificate won't work for mobile applications.
