Overview of configuring SSL overview-of-configuring-ssl

CAUTION
AEM 6.4 has reached the end of extended support and this documentation is no longer updated. For further details, see our technical support periods. Find the supported versions here.

You can create Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) credentials and configure SSL on the application server to enhance the security of communication with your application server.

As a security product, Rights Management requires the configuration of SSL. When configuring SSL certificates, ensure that you use only RSA keys. SSL Certificates with DSA keys are not supported.

The information provided applies to turnkey, automatic, and manual installations. It offers an example of a method for configuring SSL. You can also use other methods that are more appropriate for your network or organization.

NOTE
It is recommended that you complete the installation, configuration, and deployment of your AEM forms modules and ensure that the products are running correctly before you configure SSL on the application server.
NOTE
When creating SSL security certificates and credentials, use the same user account privileges as you used to run the application server. If the application server is run by using other user privileges, the form may not render properly for PDFForm renditions when the ContentRootURI points to https.

If you have an SSL-enabled LDAP server, configure User Management to work with it. (See Configure User Management for an SSL-enabled LDAP server.)
