About HTTPS

HTTPS is HTTP over Implicit SSL only.

Implicit security is a mechanism by which security is automatically turned on as soon as the client makes a connection to a server. Generally, the server defines a specific port to be used for secure client connections.

Attention: Never configure Gateway or PassPort to use Explicit SSL when configuring HTTPS. It is incompatible with HTTPS.
