All I can find is the SSH setup. Why is there no documentation on how to implement the HTTPS with certificate?

It's not a question of LuCI.
It's a question of what WEB-Server you are using to provide LuCI GUI.

opkg update && opkg install luci-ssl && /etc/init.d/uhttpd restart

Sorry guys. I like accessing openwrt via Firefox. I appreciate being able to see that a secure connection has been established (green lock icon). And then logging into LuCI.

There used to be a WebUI section of a wiki (http://wiki.openwrt.org/doc/howto/secure.access) that described the following and I wondered if these steps are still valid for getting https when at the login screen when using Firefox:

1) install cert generator and web server TLS plugin
opkg install px5g uhttpd-mod-tls

2) optionally instruct the server to not listen on plain HTTP anymore
uci delete uhttpd.main.listen_http
uci commit

3) restart the web server to trigger certificate generation
/etc/init.d/uhttpd restart

4) optionally remove the key generator
opkg remove px5g

EDIT: I'm confused. do I need to install the luci-ssl package also? I don't have it installed now (I just did the 4 steps above) and I have an HTTPS connection in Firefox when I go to the LuCI login portal.

luci-ssl automates all of the above.

Thanks jow. Do you recommend one installation-route (for getting HTTPS) over the other? Or doesn't matter--they both lead to the same setup. does luci-ssl also instruct the server to not listen on plain HTTP anymore?

"opkg info luci-ssl" doesnt really give much info on it.
