     28The server takes an optional argument, {{{--cert}}} and a certificate with which to identify itself under SSL/https.  If omitted, the server will run under http, unencrypted and unauthenticated.  If run under SSL, the server expects clients to supply a certificate, but does not vaildate it's authorization chain.  This is for future expansion using ABAC authorization to the server and self-certifying identities.
