Using Secure HTTP

Edit online

Three options to connect via Secure HTTP exist.

CAUTION:
Secure HTTP connections to the Accesser® Nodes fail unless one of the following steps is taken:
  • Configure the host to trust the Manager’s Certificate Authority (CA). Retrieve the Manager CA and follow the operating system's instructions to install that CA.

    It is IBM's best practice.

  • Configure the system with an external CA the host already trusts internally or externally.
  • Configure the SDK to ignore self-signed certificates at connect if the language supports it. It exposes the customer to risk. The code automatically trusts any certificate.
