New Nodes

Design Server

Transport Layer Security (TLS) support

Transport Layer Security (TLS) client settings can be configured for outbound connections from the Design Server. See the mapping server.outbound.ssl in config.yaml. Use of these settings is not required if the previous behavior for outbound connections is sufficient. These settings are intended to allow secure connections to runtime installations including those that use a customized TLS configuration. Mutual TLS (mTLS) is supported when values are provided for config.yaml keys server.outbound.ssl.certFile and server.outbound.ssl.keyFile. These values are optional when mTLS is not used.
