Encrypt Customizer Traffic in HCL Connections Component Pack

·466 words·3 mins
Warning The is just a proof of concept and shouldn’t be used in production! I still have some issues with redirects to the new hostname. In the series of encrypting network traffic within HCL Connections and Component Pack: Encrypt IHS Proxypass Traffic To Component Pack Securing Redis Traffic in HCL Connections with SSH Tunnels the customizer part is missing. In a default configuration (or when you install as documented), the traffic from IHS and NGINX that is forwarded to the customizer (mw-proxy) and Ingress is unencrypted.

Encrypt IHS proxypass traffic to Component Pack

I’m still working on encrypting all network traffic between Connections and Component Pack servers. This time I checked the Ingress-Nginx Controller - TLS/HTTPS documentation. The default configuration for connecting IHS with Component Pack uses the plain HTTP port 32080. All traffic like /social or the Tailored Experience wizard is routed from IHS to Kubernetes on port 32080. Our target is to encrypt the traffic on port 32443.
