Configuring certificates for HTTPS communications
To enable communication between the IBM® Cloud App Management server, browsers, and agents, you can configure default or custom certificates.
Configuring a default certificate
The HTTPS protocol allows communication between the Cloud App Management server and the agents, the server allows connections from the resources that authenticate themselves with a valid certificate. You can configure HTTPS communication that is based on default certificates, which are generated during the installation of the Cloud App Management server.
Configuring a custom certificate
You might want to use your own certificate instead of the certificate that is generated by the Cloud App Management server. For more information, see Configuring a custom server certificate.
Note: If you do provide your own certificate for the communication between the IBM Cloud App
Management server, browsers, and agents, you must create
a ConfigMap containing
the certificate authority's certificate in x509 PEM format. For example:
kubectl create configmap master-ca --from-file=./ca.pem.
