This setting controls the https encryption level between the Sensor and the browser. When selected, the Sensor will only allow AES encryption to the browser (Sensor UI). Only browsers that support this type of encryption will be able to connect to the Sensor UI (e.g. Firefox) once this setting is configured to yes. If you are using IE, do not select this option. Communication between the Sensor and the server is not affected by this setting, and is always negotiated for AES.Note: FIPS level encryption is incompatible with Internet Explorer.
