Securing GlassFish Server REST Interfaces

The GlassFish Server REST interfaces support basic authentication over a secure connection. When security is enabled, you must specify https as the protocol in the URLs to REST resources and provide a username and password.

Securing GlassFish Server REST Interfaces involves the following sequence of tasks:

1. Adding an admin-realm user to the asadmin user group

2. Enabling Secure Sockets Layer (SSL)

For information about how to perform these tasks from the command line, see the following documentation:

• To Create an Authentication Realm

• To Create a File User

• To Configure an HTTP Listener for SSL

For information about how to perform these tasks by using the Administration Console, see the following topics in the Administration Console online help:

• To Add a User to the Admin Realm
