Configuring SSL certificates for Link web UI

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

Procedure

Prepare the SSL certificate files.

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.

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 "

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.
