SSL for integrated web server

Feature Request: The web interface should have the ability to install an ssl certificate and require a secure connection for those who would like to expose the server to the outside world. Exposing a non-secure server is dangerous as the password is transmitted in plain-text and very easily discovered with a packet sniffer.

The BCS is not designed to be a hardened web server and adding that capability to the current platform is not feasible due to memory and processor limitations.
There are several ways to achieve secure remote access though. You could use a VPN into your LAN which would not require you to expose devices to the outside world at all, or you could use either IIS or Apache web servers to proxy the connection for you.
