Configure SSL for the browser

Configure SSL for the browser is browser-specific. Consult your browser documentation for instructions.

Generally speaking, when the you type https://... instead of http://..., the browser creates an SSL connection instead of a simple TCP connection to the Web server. The browser then typically either prompts the user or fails to connect if it was unable to validate the Web server or to agree upon the level of security options (the strength of the encryption algorithm to use).
