Using SSL/TLS

 

Introduction

Izenda supports and strongly recommends the use of SSL/TLS to secure traffic between the Front-end, Backend (API) sites. This guides demonstrates how to configure Izenda to use HTTPS.

Steps

  1. Add SSL bindings for the API and Front-end sites. The process for doing this will vary, please consult with your technical staff for assistance.

  2. Update the izenda_config.js (Front-end) to use the new HTTPS binding for the API

    WebApiUrl:”https://localhost/api/”

  3. Update the following settings in the IzendaSystemSetting table to use HTTPS.

Note: The values below are examples, you will need to use values relevant to your particular setup.

Name Value
WebAPIUrl https://localhost:5555/
WebUrl https://localhost:5556/
AuthValidateAccessTokenUrl https://example.com/api/validateAccessToken
AuthGetAccessTokenUrl http://example.com/api/getAccessToken

Common Log Errors

Note: Self-signed & untrusted certificates must be installed on the server hosting the API in order for the Izenda application to “trust” them.

  • The underlying connection was closed: Could not establish trust relationship for the SSL/TLS secure channel.
  • System.Security.Authentication.AuthenticationException: The remote certificate is invalid according to the validation procedure.
