The SSL protocol
The Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) protocol improves security by providing a digital certificate that authenticates storage systems and allows encrypted data to pass between the system and a browser. SSL is built into all major browsers. Therefore, installing a digital certificate on the storage system enables the SSL capabilities between system and browser.
As a precautionary measure due to security vulnerability CVE-2009-3555, the SSL renegotiation feature is disabled in Data ONTAP.
