Launch the selected task button
Click to begin the configuration that you selected. You will receive a warning
message if you cannot complete the task that you chose. If there is a prerequisite
task that you need to complete, you will be told what it is and how to complete it.
Persistent Self-Signed Certificate
You can provide the information for a persistent self-signed certificate in this
dialog. Using the information that you provide, the HTTPS server will generate a
certificate that will be used in the SSL handshake. Persistent self-signed
certificates remain in the configuration even if the router is reloaded, and are
presented during the SSL handshake process. New users must manually accept
these certificates, but users who have previously done so do not have to accept
them again if the router was reloaded.
For more information on the persistent self-signed certificate feature, see the
information at this link:
