This section describes how to enable https to ensure secure connections to the ECC Server for issuing ECC REST API commands.

Warning: ECC REST API commands must be sent to the ECC Server via an https connection in order to ensure the security of the username and password used for ECC Server authentication via REST.

The ECC Server must be configured so that https is enabled and http is disabled. This will ensure the login credentials sent by REST commands will only be received if they are encrypted when being transmitted across the network. To configure http and https for ECC Server, run the ECC Server Configuration Wizard on the ECC Server; see the Nuix ECC Administration Guide for details.

Additional measures may be required when the ECC Server’s SSL certificate is self-signed or issued from an in-house certificate server. For details see the following topic.

Guidelines for Self-Signed and Company-Issued SSL Certificates

This topic describes how to configure SSL certificates that are self-generated for use with ECC REST API commands.
