Security for the RESTful APIs

To secure your cluster, you can prepare security files and configuration for the RESTful APIs.

Enabling security for the RESTful APIs using a self-signed certificate
Configure security for the web servers hosting the RESTful APIs, using a self-signed certificate for testing purposes.
Enabling security for the RESTful APIs using an external certificate
Configure security for the web servers in your production environment, using a properly chained certificate from a trusted certificate authority (CA).
Disabling security for the RESTful API web servers
The web servers that host the RESTful APIs are by default accessible over TLS. Enabling security communication is highly recommended when integrity and confidentiality of data transmission is essential.
