# Scanning SSL Servers

Underneath the url field is a checkbox you can select of you are certain the target server is configured for SSL.

Nikto normally tests for an HTTP connection and retries as an HTTPS connection if the former fails. If you are testing a server that is only configured for SSL, then selecting this checkbox will bypass the initial HTTP attempts and speed up testing.

Note that not all Mac OS X systems support SSL, for more information, see SSL Help.
