Indigo Web Server Certificates¶
In this guide
How to configure browsers and HTTP clients (such as Node-RED) to accept the Indigo Web Server's self-signed SSL certificate for local HTTPS connections. Covers locating the certificate files in the Web Assets folder and configuring TLS settings in third-party tools.
Node-RED Example¶
The following example shows how to configure a Node-RED flow that uses the Indigo Web Server (IWS) API to operate a lamp device. The example is only meant to show how to use a self-signed certificate and public key to enable the flow to connect to the IWS using https instead of http when using the IWS on a local network via 10.0.1.123, 127.0.0.1, or localhost* (using the API via the Indigo Reflector Service uses a different CA-approved security certificate and the flow is configured the same as it would be using any API via https*).
Using the flow via https requires a few settings. Enter the preferred URL to point at the local IWS address *10.0.1.123*, *127.0.0.1*, or *localhost* with the URL:
for example,
select TLS, and use bearer authentication along with a valid token key (from your Indigo Account Authorizations).
Then, use the key and certificate from local files and point them to the certificate and public key files located in
