# How to enable secure login (HTTPS) ?

The default communication between the Endpoint Central MSP Server and the agents is HTTP. At times you might feel that the communication happens via a secured SSL channel as it deals with customer data. In such cases, you can change to HTTPS communication.

When you choose secured communication, Endpoint Central MSP will use port **8041**.

You need to make appropriate changes to your firewall to allow this port.

## Steps to enable secured communication between Endpoint Central MSP Server and Agent:

1. Click on **Admin tab --> Server Settings**.
2. Check the **Enable Secure Login (Https)** checkbox.  
   **Note:** You can also use a third-party SSL certificate.
3. Click on **Save Changes**.

You have enabled the secure login feature (HTTPS) in Endpoint Central MSP.
