Reading Time: < 1 minute Using HTTPS is highly recommended and I cannot stop when explaining the benefits of using it! Also something which is more important is to make sure when HTTPS is setup it is ensured that all traffic via HTTP is blocked in a way that it is redirected to HTTPS. This can be easily achieved by giving NGINX the following set of instructions in the virtual Continue Reading
Reading Time: < 1 minute I’ll try to explain the easiest way to use a .pfx file that can be used to install SSL on NGINX. We’ll start by extracting the CRT file using openssl with the following command openssl pkcs12 -in ./YOUR-PFX-FILE.pfx -clcerts -nokeys -out domain.crt Followed by extracting the private key with the following command openssl pkcs12 -in ./YOUR-PFX-FILE.pfx -nocerts -nodes -out domain.rsa

Akka HTTP provides a very flexible “Routing DSL” for elegantly defining RESTful web services. It picks up where the low-level API leaves off and offers much of the higher level functionality of typical web servers or frameworks, like deconstruction of URIs, content negotiation or static content serving.

Reading Time: 2 minutes Hi guys, In my last blogs I explained how one can create a self-signed certificate and KeyStore in PKCS12. You can go through the previous blog, as we’ll be needing certificate and keystore for handling HTTPS requests. https://blog.knoldus.com/2016/10/18/create-a-self-signed-ssl-certificate-using-openssl/ https://blog.knoldus.com/2016/10/26/how-to-create-a-keystore-in-pkcs12-format/ Akka-HTTP provides both Server-Side and Client-Side HTTPS support. In this blog I’ll be covering the Server-Side HTTPS support. Let’s start with “why do we need server-side HTTPS support?” If we want the communication between the browser and Continue Reading
Reading Time: 3 minutes In this blog I’ll be giving a little bit of insight on SSL certificates and then how to create a self-signed certificate using OpenSSL. Let’s start with “What is an SSL Certificate?“ SSL stands for Secure Socket Layer. SSL is a global standard technology that creates encrypted communication between web browser and web server. It helps to decrease the risk of losing your personal information(e.g passwords, emails, Continue Reading
