====UseSSL====

The **UseSSL** function is part of the [[HMIPanel]] class in the ARDI Javascript API.

You use the function before calling [[ConnectTo]] to force the system to use SSL when communicating with the ARDI server.

This function normally **isn't needed** for any visualisation that will be hosted on the ARDI server - the API will automatically use SSL if the page was loaded securely.

However, there are cases - such as when you are distributing an image as an SVG file - when your file is opened in an //insecure// environment. 

Adding this function ensures that your live data will be accessed securely. It can also help negotiate access problems through firewalls, as SSL-based live data goes through the standard web port.

===Parameters===

None

===Usage===

<code>
connection.UseSSL();
connection.ConnectTo("myardiserver");
</code>
