Enabling Secure HTTP Over SSL

To implement SSL, a Secure Site SSL Certificate must exist on each instance that hosts the Code Insight Core Server or a Scan Server and that accepts secure connections. (When the Core Server and Scan Server are installed on the same instance, they share the same certificate.) Refer to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HTTP_Secure​ and http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-8.0-doc/ssl-howto.html​ for more details about HTTPS.

Use these instructions for enabling an HTTPS connection, including how to procure a certificate:

• Enabling an HTTPS Connection

• Obtaining and Implementing a Purchased Secure Site SSL Certificate

• Generating and Implementing a Self-signed Certificate

note

For security, we recommend that Code Insight always be installed over SSH.
