- Version Introduced:10.8
Description
This operation is used to configure the web server certificate, TLS protocols, and cipher suites used by the portal.
Request parameters
| Parameter | Details |
|---|---|
| webServerCertificateAlias (Required) | The name of the certificate. The certificate must be present in the portal. Example |
| sslProtocols | The TLS protocols the portal will use. TLSv1.2 is enabled by default. You can also enable TLSv1 and TLSv1.1. Values must be separated by commas. Note:Ensure that the web server hosting your Web Adaptor can fully communicate over the protocols you're enabling. If you're using a Java Web Adaptor, the web server hosting the Web Adaptor must be using Java 8 or later. Example |
| cipherSuites | The cipher suites the portal will use. Refer to the list of valid and default cipher suites in the next section. Values must be separated by commas. Example |
| HSTSEnabled | A Boolean value that indicates whether HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS) is being used by the portal. See Enforce strict HTTPS communication for more information. The default is false. Values: true | false Example |
| f | The response format. The default response format is html. Values: html | json | pjson |
Valid cipher suites
