Certificates for SSL Connections

Enable SSL for the artifact back channel to secure the SSL connection and make back-channel communication secure.

To establish the SSL connection, the relying party has to associate the CA certificate with the signed SSL server certificate. The SSL server certificate secures the SSL connection, while the CA certificate verifies that the SSL server certificate is trusted.
