Tosca Continuous Integration supports HTTPS communication between the Remote Execution Service and the Tosca Continuous Integration CIient (Tosca CI Client).

To enable HTTPS communication, follow these steps:

  1. Prepare an SSL certificate. If you use Tosca Server with an HTTPS binding, you can reuse the certificate you use for Tosca Server.

  2. Open the appsettings.json file. After a default installation, you can find this file in %COMMANDER_HOME%\ToscaCI.

  3. In the Kestrel section, perform the following actions:

    • Make sure the Url starts with https.

    • Add the following code to the Default tag:

    "Certificate": {
        "Store": "<name of your certificate store>",
        "Subject": "<subject name of your certificate>",
        "Location": "<location of your certificate store>",
        "Password": "<password to access the certificate data, if you defined a password for your certificate>",
        "AllowInvalid": true
    }

    For example: 

    "Kestrel": {
        "Endpoints": {
          "Default": {
            "Url": "https://localhost:8732",
            "Certificate": {
              "Store": "My",
              "Subject": "MySelfSignedCert",
              "Location": "LocalMachine",
              "AllowInvalid": true
            }
          }
        }
      }

  1. Save and close the file.
