Secure Forms

Documentation home

 

 

Secure form is an option that can be configured for each form, and ensures that a form will always be executed using the secure https protocol. If the form is requested using http, it is redirected to use https; if it is requested using https no action is taken. If it is known that the form will always be requested using https this option does not need to be set.

 

Note that the application server must also be configured to accept https connections before enabling the secure form feature. If the application server is not already configured to accept https connections, please refer your application server documentation to configure https before proceeding.

 

Configuring Ebase Server

Server property SSL Port No can be configured with the port number to use for SSL, this property has a default value of 443. This property must match the SSL port configured for the application server: if using the supplied Tomcat application server, the SSL port is configured in the server.xml file in the tomcat/conf directory.
