+### How to setup HTTPS(SSL) connection for IBM Spectrum Scale Performance Monitoring Bridge
+
+To set up SSL communication between the bridge and the Grafana complete the following steps:
+
+
+1. On the host, where you are running the bridge, generate a private key. For example, you can use openssl command and follow the OpenSSL ‘howto’ instructions:
+
+```shell
+# openssl genrsa -out privkey.pem 2048
+```
+
+
+2. Generate a certificate.
+
+```shell
+# openssl req -new -x509 -days 365 -key privkey.pem -out cert.pem
+```
+
+Openssl will then ask you a series of questions. You can enter whatever values are applicable, or leave most fields blank. The one field you must fill in is the ‘Common Name’: enter the hostname which will be used to access the bridge (where the Grafana server running).
+
+Note: The file names for key and the certificate should be ‘privkey.pem’ and ‘cert.pem’.
+
+
+3. Install CherryPy (version 5.0 or above)from the [CherryPy](https://cherrypy.org/) download page.
+
+Note: If you are using python3, please check which cherryPy version is compatible with your setup. In our lab, we have tested python version 3.4.3 with cherryPy version 8.2.0.
+
+
+4. Start the bridge listening on the socket port 8443. Don't forget to provide the location of ‘privkey.pem’ and ‘cert.pem’ (-k option), otherwise you will get the error message:
+
+```shell
+# python zimonGrafanaIntf.py -p 8443
+```
