HTTPS
The Graphical User Interface of the Ozeki NG SMS Gateway can be accessed through
HTTPS. All you need to do is to configure an HTTPS port on the server preferences
form, then you should assign a HTTP Server certificate to the HTTPS port. In this
article you can get a detailed description about how you can setup HTTPS in your
Ozeki NG SMS Gateway.
Ozeki NG SMS Gateway software is prepared for handling HTTPS connections. In order
for this to work, a certificate is needed (generated or purchased as Thawte, GoDaddy,
etc.)
In case you are using a generated certificate, you need to install the generated
certificate to Thrusted Root Certificate storage on ALL computers from which you
wish to connect to Ozeki NG SMS Gateway software through HTTPS connection.
Use the following step by step description to configure the HTTPS for your Ozeki
NG SMS Gateway:
