https management on R7000

Can we please have a Feature Request (FR) to add HTTPS (SSL/TLS) management  to the R7000. 

 

Is there a reason why the R7000 doesn't utilize SSL for management internally? I see if you configure external remote access, you can use TCP 8443 but I see no option for internal use.

 

I'm sure the whole community would benifit from this.

 

Thank you.

  • Hi Speeder29007, I'm just wondering what benefits does it actually give us. We are not transferring any files or personal information (such as passwords), so I don't see how it would it help at all. Shouldn't it be more of a priority to place SSL for transferring data on ReadyCloud? Currently SSL on the ReadyCloud site is only used when logging into the site. Thanks.
  • no password ? if you want to connect to your R7000 from internet, your account & password are transmitted in clear text on the net ....
