You configure SSL settings for a specific appliance in the Editing Appliance Configuration: <hostname>, SSL page.

SSL is a cryptographic protocol that provides secure communications between two parties over the internet. Typically, in a web-based application, it is the client that authenticates the server. To identify itself, an SSL certificate is installed on a web server and the client checks the credentials of the certificate to make sure it is valid and signed by a trusted third party. Trusted third parties that sign SSL certificates are called certificate authorities (CA).
