I switched on TLS for the REST API. Now I receive an error when I try to log in to the Streaming Engine Manager:

Wowza Streaming Engine Manager could not connect to the Wowza Streaming Engine service([http://localhost:8087](http://localhost:8087)). Verify that the Wowza Streaming Engine service has started and is running.

How do I configure Streaming Engine Manager or Wowza Streaming Engine correctly to either

- make the REST API available via http only on localhost or

- make Streaming Engine Manager use https instead of http?
