Once you get an `ssl-certificate creation is successful` message in the console, you'll be able to access the web UI via `https`.
??? info "Using custom HTTPS certificates"
If you'd like the switch web UI to use your own custom HTTPS certificates, that's possible as well. It's important to remember that the switch [doesn't support PKCS #8](https://community.ruckuswireless.com/t5/Switches/Can-t-import-SSL-certificates-quot-Could-not-parse-the-PEM/m-p/18554/highlight/true#M686) and this isn't actually [documented anywhere](https://docs.ruckuswireless.com/fastiron/08.0.60/fastiron-08060-securityguide/GUID-E83AC70A-9F89-4209-B6C4-ED5725D4F487.html). You must create certificates using the PKCS #1 format. If you try to use PKCS #8 (the default for openssl), you'll get certificate parsing errors.
This example assumes you want to create your own CA and sign with it.
Create a new Root CA:
```
pass='{{ pass }}' \
name='{{ name }}' \
openssl req \
-newkey rsa:4096 \
-sha512 \
-passin pass:"${pass}" \
-x509 \
-nodes \
-keyout "$name"Root.pem \
-new \
-out "$name"Root.crt \
-subj "/CN="$name" Root CA" \
-days 3650
```
Generate a key in PKCS #1 format using the `-traditional` flag (see [openssl-genrsa](https://www.openssl.org/docs/manmaster/man1/openssl-genrsa.html) for more details):
```
openssl genrsa -traditional -out keyfile 4096
```
Create the certificate signing request:
```
name='{{ name }}' \
C='{{ country }}' \
ST='{{ state/province }}' \
openssl req \
-new \
-sha512 \
-key keyfile \
-subj "/C="$C"/ST="$ST"/O="$name" Network, Inc./CN=sw1.home.arpa" \
-out certsignreq.csr \
-reqexts SAN \
-extensions SAN \
-config <(cat /etc/ssl/openssl.cnf ; printf "[SAN]\nsubjectAltName=DNS:%s" "sw1.home.arpa")
```
Sign the certificate request:
```
name='{{ name }}' \
openssl x509 \
-req \
-in certsignreq.csr \
-CA "$name"Root.crt \
-CAkey "$name"Root.pem \
-CAcreateserial \
-out certfile \
-days 3650 \
-sha512 \
-extensions v3_ext \
-extensions SAN \
-extfile <(cat /etc/ssl/openssl.cnf ; printf "[SAN]\nsubjectAltName=DNS:%s" "sw1.home.arpa")
```
Install your custom certificate on the switch via TFTP:
```
ip ssl cert-key-size 4096
ip ssl certificate-data-file tftp 192.168.1.51 certfile
ip ssl private-key-file tftp 192.168.1.51 keyfile
web-management https
```
That's it! the web UI should now use your cert when loaded via HTTPS
### Optional: Changing the default user account
If you don't like the default `super` username that comes with the switch, you can remove it and create your own user account instead. Just replace `customname` and `yourpasshere` with your own values:
