Using SSL

If you choose to set up SSL authentication for the InvokeRESTService activity, you must have a self-signed server certificate that you must upload when setting up the activity.

Note: Use Self-signed PEM certificate for secure connection.
To set up SSL authentication, follow these steps:

Prerequisites

You must have the self-signed server certificate handy on your machine.

Procedure

  1. On the flow page, click the Invoke REST Service tile to open its properties.
  2. In the Settings tab, under Use certificate for verification, select the True radio button.
    This exposes the Browse button. The SSL verification will be turned off when Use certificate for verification is set to False.
  3. Use the Browse button to navigate to the location of the server certificate.
    Once the server certificate is uploaded successfully, the connection uses the certificate to authenticate.
