Step 4: Installing Secure Socket Layer (SSL) on Linux

Installing a Secure Socket Layer (SSL) with a valid certificate is strongly recommended to ensure communication between the server and browser is not compromised.

To set up SSL on SiteWand:

1. Rename the certificate as $URL_HOST.crt and key as $URL_HOST.key, where:

   $URL_HOST is the value of the property knob URL_HOST defined in the site.properties file. For example, etrack.example.com.crt.

2. Install the Apache openssl shared libraries (libssl.so.*), to let SiteWand process SSL.

   Note: Ensure the base href is also configured to the protocol used.
