Chapter 6
Security
A SSL protocol should always be the choice when communicating with the target device over Internet or untrusted network. The only operation user has to perform to enable the SSL protocol in RexCore is to place a certificate and a private key into the target device.
A self-signed certificate is created during the installation process on GNU/Linux and there is nothing that has to be done if a self-signed certificate is sufficient. On Windows, a RexSecurityConfig application must be used to generate a self-signed certificate.
If a custom certificate and a private key is available, a user has to put them into the RexCore configuration directory. A file with the certificate should be named rexcore.cer and a file with the private key should be named rexcore.key. Both files should be in the PEM file format. The RexCore should be restarted every time a file with certificate or private key is changed.
