Configuring SSL certificates for Link web UI

To configure SSL certificates for Link web UI, complete the following steps:

Procedure

  1. Prepare the SSL certificate files.
  2. Within the Link client installation folder, copy the certificate files to the ssl-certificates/public -certificates/ folder. The relative path of the installation root folder for different platforms are as follows:
    Microsoft Windows The client installation folder is DesignServer/client.
    Linux (Native) The client installation folder is node-context/install.
    Linux (Docker) The client installation folder is within the hip-client container at /usr/src/app.

    Use the docker cp command to copy files from a local folder to the Docker hip-client container.
  3. Setup the config.yaml "/client/inbound/ssl" section to point to the certificate files copied in Step 2.
    Example:
    key: "ssl-certificates/public-certificates/server.key"
    cert: "ssl-certificates/public-certificates/server.crt"
    ca: " ssl-certificates/public-certificates/gd1.crt,ssl-certificates/public-certificates/gd2.crt,ssl-certificates/public-certificates/gd3.crt "
  4. Restart the Link application. If your user profile has all the appropriate privileges, open a shell and change the working directory to the installation root.
    1. In case of Microsoft Windows, execute the following commands: 
      
DesignServer\stop.bat 
DesignServer\start.bat
    2. In case of Linux-based systems, execute the following commands: 
      
./Link stop
./Link start
