Hi all,
I am in the last steps of finishing a first version of our Apache IoTDB App for CltrX. Currently working on tying up some loose ends. One of them being that I want to enable HTTPS for our app.
For this we could install a self-signed certificate, which would make things a bit more difficult for our users.
Alternatively we could install a real certificate, however this would expire, rendering the application useless. On normal systems I'd say that's ok, but knowing that quite often in the automation-world systems stay in operation untouched a lot longer than an IT guy feels comfortable with, I guess that's not an option.
Yet another option would be something like Let'sEncrypt, but I really hope there are no PLCs out there that are allowed to be actively reached from the internet.
One last option would be to use a certificate provided to the application and I know the CtrlX settings allow managing these certificates.
Do you have any pointers on how to provide such external certificates to apps?
