# HTTPS

HTTPS is a protocol for secure communications over a computer network that is used to access the Internet. HTTPS consists of communications over Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) within a connection that is encrypted by Transport Layer Security. HTTPS is used to provide authentication of a website as well as bidirectional encryption of the communications between the client and server.

### TelcoBridges and HTTPS

The TelcoBridges [Web Portal](https://github.com/telcobridges-main/tmedia-wiki/tree/main/tmedia/configuration/web-portal/README.md) can be configured to support HTTPS; however, only the encryption functionality is used. This is because the web server hosting the Web Portal does not authenticate itself.

Note that the recovery web portal will use HTTP (when using "[reset host role](https://github.com/telcobridges-main/tmedia-wiki/tree/main/tmedia/configuration/resetting-the-host-role/README.md)" or "change network devices roles").

### Configuration

* [Toolpack v3.0: HTTPS](https://github.com/telcobridges-main/tmedia-wiki/tree/main/tmedia/configuration/tmedia-tdev-and-tsig-web-portal-3-0-system-settings/README.md#services)
* [Toolpack v2.10: HTTPS](https://github.com/telcobridges-main/tmedia-wiki/tree/main/tmedia/configuration/tmedia-tdev-and-tsig-web-portal-2-10-system-settings/README.md#services)
* [Toolpack v2.9: HTTPS](https://github.com/telcobridges-main/tmedia-wiki/tree/main/tmedia/configuration/web-portal-2-9-system-settings/README.md#services)

This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://prosbcdocs.telcobridges.com/tmedia-documentation/server-and-os-administration/https.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
