Preferences
l
Port: Select the port to use. The default port is 8080, the official HTTP alternate port, so
as not to interfere with the standard HTTP port (80). To block any regular HTTP traffic (for
example if only using HTTPS connections) the port can be set to 0.
Note that it is possible to use both the NodeJS Server and the standard HTTP Server
simultaneously, provided that they are not set to listen to the same port. See "NodeJS
Server Input plugin preferences 1" on page797.
l
Time out: Set the timeout period in seconds. The default value is 120 seconds.
l
Enable server for SSL requests: Check this option to enable secure data exchange
over the Web. This enables the boxes below and lets you specify your secure
communication settings.
Note
The Root certificate, Certificate and Key files must be in the PEM format (ASCII
base64 encoded). Files in DER format, the binary encoded version of the PEM
format, cannot be used to configure Workflow, although they may have the same file
extension (e.g. .crt, .cer). Please check the format of your files, using a tool like:
https://www.httpcs.com/en/ssl-converter.
l
Root certificate: Enter the absolute path to the public key certificate identifying the
root certificate authority. The file generally has a .crt extension and is obtained from
a Certificate Provider such as Thawte or Verisign. If the Root Certificate and
Certificate file are identical, this is considered a self-signed certificate, which is
considered unsecured by most browsers.
l
Certificate: Enter the absolute path to the public key certificate identifying the
certified server. The file generally has a .crt extension and is provided by a
certificate provider, or through the use of certificate generators such as openssl or
makecert.com.
