6.7.3 HTTP encryption

About HTTP encryption

When accessing the configurator via the its IP address, an HTTP site is generated by the Base Unit. ClickShare will generate a certificate which will be checked by the browser to see if they are trusted. The default generated certificate of ClickShare is commonly not trusted by browsers, causing an unsafe site warning to be shown. To remove this warning, the default certificate of ClickShare can be set as trusted in the browser, or overwritten by a custom certificate created by the local IT department.
