+=====

+The https functionality can be enabled by setting
+
+.. code-block:: yaml
+..
+.. warewulf:
+..   enable https: true
+..   secure port:  9874
+..
+
+Which will enable a https server on the secure port. The certificate and key
+can be created as self signed key with ``wwctl configure keys --create``. The
+keys and certificate are stored if not configured otherwise as
+
+.. code-block:: console
+..
+.. /etc/warewulf/keys/warewulf.crt # PEM certificate
+.. /etc/warewulf/keys/warewulf.key # PEM RSA Key

+For the key and certifcate generation no addiotional parameters can be set, but
+you can import your own keys, with ``wwctl configure keys import``.
+
+If HTTPS is enabled the delivery of the runtime overlays is disabled over HTTP, so
+you **must** use `wwclient` to get the runtime overlays.
