----------------
-
-Access to the administration web interface is always done via
-`https`. The default certificate is never valid for your browser and
-you get always warnings.
-
-If you want to get rid of these warnings, you have to generate a valid
-certificate for your server.
-
-Login to your Proxmox via ssh or use the console:
-
-----
-openssl req -newkey rsa:2048 -nodes -keyout key.pem -out req.pem
-----
-
-Follow the instructions on the screen, see this example:
-
-----
-Country Name (2 letter code) [AU]: AT
-State or Province Name (full name) [Some-State]:Vienna

-Email Address []:support@yourdomain.com
-
-Please enter the following 'extra' attributes to be sent with your certificate request
-A challenge password []: not necessary
-An optional company name []: not necessary
-----
-
-After you finished this certificate request you have to send the file
-`req.pem` to your Certification Authority (CA). The CA will issue the
-certificate (BASE64 encoded) based on your request – save this file as
-`cert.pem` to your Proxmox.
-
-To activate the new certificate, do the following on your Proxmox:
-
-----
-cat key.pem cert.pem >/etc/pmg/pmg-api.pem
-----
-
-The restart the API servers
-
-----
-systemctl restart pmgproxy
-----
-
-Test your new certificate by using your browser.
-
-NOTE: To transfer files from and to your Proxmox, you can use secure
-copy: If you desktop is Linux, you can use the `scp` command line
-tool. If your desktop PC is windows, please use a scp client like
-WinSCP (see http://winscp.net/).
