Securing the License Server🔗

Using TLS🔗

The License Server opens one or several web servers. By default, these web servers only accept HTTPS requests to make sure that the communication between License Server and HALCON is encrypted. The required certificates and keys for the server can be provided as PEM-encoded files. If no valid files are provided, the server generates a self-signed certificate.

Note

Visiting a server URL with self-signed certificate in a browser can lead to warning messages because the browser cannot confirm the authenticity of the certificate.

Restricting access via IP whitelisting🔗

The server can be restricted to accept requests for licenses from specific IPs only. If no such whitelist is provided, the server does not restrict access. To learn how to restrict access, see Configuration options.

The following restrictions are possible:

  • IPv4 IPs and CIDR ranges
  • IPv6 IPs and CIDR ranges

  • Hostnames

    Important

    Hostnames will be resolved during startup only.
