The Web UI can be run using the HTTPS protocol. The HTTPS protocol can be used for the
following 2 connections:
- Between the web browser and web server hosting the Web UI
- Ensure your chosen web server hosting the web UI provides the HTTPS protocol.
- Between the web browser and BAM
- In order to ensure communication to BAM is secure, a keystore should be set up. How to do this
is described below
The certificate
of the
BAM system should be added to a keystore and the keystore referenced using the following
options:
- keystore_file
- keystore_password
- keystore_key_alias
as described in
Security Configuration OptionsHow to set up a keystore is described here Setting up a Keystore.
How to get a CA signed certificate is described here Getting a certificate signed by a Certificate Authority.
The Web UI itself must also point to the secure port BAM is listening on. To do this, in the
<Web UI directory>/assets/configs/config.js file, ensure API_PROTOCOL is set
to https and API_PORT is set to the port BAM is listening on, the setting of the https_port
configuration option as described in WebAPI Configuration Options.
