Hi Christian I was able to deploy basex.war (8.6.7) as expanded application under a server on WebSphere Liberty. The server is setup to use https with SSL. So I can run with success the BaseX Web Admin UI like https://localhost:9443/BaseX/dba/login?path=databases and I can run Xquery from there.
The question is that the web application starts an instance of BaseXServer that listen to 1984 port and that communication is not secure. I take that the BaseXServer will not change to provide a secure communication with the clients. is that correct? thanks Stefania From: "Christian Grün" <[email protected]> To: Giavanna J Richards <[email protected]> Cc: BaseX <[email protected]> Date: 03/14/2018 04:07 PM Subject: Re: [basex-talk] SSL support for BaseX REST API Sent by: [email protected] Hi Giavanna, The SSL features has not been maintained anymore for a while now. With BaseX 9.0, it will be completely removed, because the old solution is not compatible anymore with Jetty 9. We may introduce it in future once we find a good way to do. There is a StackOverflow question that relates to this issue [1], but no helpful answer was given so far. Suggestions from users who use Jetty and SSL are welcome.
