3.2.3 Setting Up Secure or Non-Secure Deployments

You can choose to set up a secure or non-secure deployment.

A secure deployment involves making RESTful API calls and conveying trail data between the Distribution Server and Receiver Server, over SSL/TLS. You can use your own existing business cerificate from your Certificate Authority (CA) or you might create your own certificates. When first creating the SSL/TLS security certificates, you must ensure that the SSL/TLS security environment variables.

For a non-secure deployment, the RESTful API calls occur over plain-text HTTP and conveyance between Distribution Server and Receiver Server is performed using the wss, ogg, and ws protocols.

This section describes the steps to configure a non-secure deployment and prerequisites and tasks to configure a secure deployment.
