Production Configuration
At this stage of the installation the Portal Dedicated should be running and can be integrated with Agents.
However for production use, there are a number of recommended improvements, including:
Securing Elasticsearch
- Elasticsearch is now unsecured and communication is over
http
. - It is recommended to add access control restrictions and change Elasticsearch to SSL communication.
Using a CA Certificate
- The Portal Dedicated is supplied with a Waratek-provided self-signed certificate to enable SSL connection to the service.
- This is sufficient for testing, but will generate a browser warning when connecting as the certificate won’t match the domain name and IP address of the server.
- For use in production it is strongly recommended to use a CA issued certificate.
