Configuring SSL¶

By default, the web-interface does not use SSL. Follow the directions below to create an SSL certificate and configure NSIA to use it:

Creating the Keystore¶

Create a new certificate using the keytool application. Below is an example:

keytool -genkey -alias nsia -keypass Pa55w0rd

Put the keystore file in the NSIA installation directory with the file name of "etc/keystore".

Configuring NSIA to Use SSL¶

Open NSIA and navigate to the configuration page (http://127.0.0.1:8080/System/Configuration). Go down to "Server Subsystem" and check the box next to "Enable SSL". Restart NSIA and verify that the certificate was loaded. Note that the default port when using SSL is port 8443 (e.g. https://127.0.0.1:8443).
