From ClickShare firmware v1.7 onwards, custom certificates for HTTPS can be uploaded to the ClickShare Base Unit. Custom certificates can as such replace the default self-signed ClickShare certificates for better compliance with company policies and have the advantage that privacy errors when browsing the ClickShare Configurator can be avoided.
