TMA-OPNSENSE-1.8
Ensure Web Management is Set to use HTTPS
HighLevel 1Automatedopnsense
Description
Web Admin Management Portal should only be accessed using HTTPS Protocol. HTTP transmits all data (including passwords) in clear text over the network and provides no assurance of the identity of the hosts involved. Because of this HTTP should never be used for sensitive tasks such as managing network devices or entering login credentials and HTTPS should be configured for Web Portal Management instead
