+********************
+Setup TLS Connection
+********************
+
+If you want to use secure channel to connect OpenFlow switches, you
+need to use TLS connection. This document describes how to setup Ryu
+to connect to the Open vSwitch over TLS.
+
+
+Configuring a Public Key Infrastructure
+========================================
+
+If you don't have a PKI, the ovs-pki script included with Open vSwitch
+can help you. This section is based on the INSTALL.SSL in the Open
+vSwitch source code.
+
+NOTE: How to install Open vSwitch isn't described in this
+document. Please refer to the Open vSwitch documents.
+
+
+Create a PKI by using ovs-pki script::
+
+ % ovs-pki init
+ (Default directory is /usr/local/var/lib/openvswitch/pki)
+
+The pki directory consists of controllerca and switchca
+subdirectories. Each directory contains CA files.
+
+
+Create a controller private key and certificate::
+
+ % ovs-pki req+sign ctl controller
+
+ctl-privkey.pem and ctl-cert.pem are generated in the current
+directory.
+
+
+Create a switch private key and certificate::
+
+ % ovs-pki req+sign sc switch
+
+sc-privkey.pem and sc-cert.pem are generated in the current directory.
+
+
+Testing TLS Connection
+======================
+
+Configuring ovs-vswitchd to use CA files using the ovs-vsctl "set-ssl"
+command, e.g.::
+
+ % ovs-vsctl set-ssl sc-privkey.pem sc-cert.pem /usr/local/var/lib/openvswitch/pki/controllerca/cacert.pem
+ % ovs-vsctl add-br br0
+ % ovs-vsctl set-controller br0 ssl:127.0.0.1:6633
+
+
+Run Ryu with CA files::
+
+ % ryu-manager --ctl_privkey ctl-privkey.pem \
+ --ctl_cert ctl-cert.pem \
+ --ca_cert /usr/local/var/lib/openvswitch/pki/switchca/cacert.pem \
+ --verbose
+
+You can see something like::
+
+ loading app ryu.controller.ofp_handler
+ instantiating app ryu.controller.ofp_handler
+ connected socket:<SSLSocket fileno=4 sock=127.0.0.1:6633 peer=127.0.0.1:56493> address:('127.0.0.1', 56493)
