+## HTTPS Configuration
+
+### Getting the Certificate
+To enable HTTPS web access, you will need a server certificate in a java
keystore. To create a self-signed certificate,
+and add it to a keystore, `keystore.jks`, you can use the following
command:
+
+{% highlight bash %}
+% keytool -genkey -keyalg RSA -alias brooklyn \
+ -keystore <path-to-keystore-directory>/keystore.jks -storepass
"mypassword" \
+ -validity 365 -keysize 2048 -keypass "password"
+{% endhighlight %}
+
+Of course, the passwords above should be changed. Omit those arguments
above for the tool to prompt you for the values.
+
+You will then be prompted to enter your name and organization details.
This will use (or create, if it does not exist)
+a keystore with the password `mypassword` - you should use your own secure
password, which will be the same password
+used in your brooklyn.properties (below). You will also need to replace
`<path-to-keystore-directory>` with the full
+path of the folder where you wish to store your keystore. The keystore
will contain the newly generated key,
+with alias `brooklyn` and password `password`.
+
+The certificate generated will be a self-signed certificate, which will
cause a warning to be displayed by a browser
