Application Configuration

In the config.yaml you can specify login, http_port, https_port, keystore_path, and keystore_password. Your config.yamlmay look like this:

config.yaml example:

login: true
http_port: 0
https_port: 8000
keystore_path: 'certificate_with_certificate_chain.p12'
keystore_password: 'myPassword'

Configuration YAML properties

login

Specifies if users need to login with indivdual credentials to get access to the PhotoDB instance.

No login needed, no access restrictions:

login: false

Login needed:

login: true

http_port

Specifies the application server listening on plain HTTP port.

Default port 8080:

http_port: 8080

Disable HTTP, not listening on HTTP port:

http_port: 0

---

https_port

Application server listening on encrypted secure HTTPS port. Needs keystore file at keystore_path and password at keystore_password.

Default port 8000:

https_port: 8000

Disable HTTPS, not listening on HTTPS port:

https_port: 0

---

keystore_path

Needed for HTTPS connections only. Not needed for HTTP connections, so no keystore file. In the distribution package, no keystore file is included.

Specifies filepath (relative to application root folder) to valid certificate for HTTPS encryption. Needs correct password at keystore_password.

Default keystore.jks filename at application root folder:

keystore_path: 'keystore.jks'

Keystore should be in standardized PKCS #12 format, containing signed certificate, public key, encrypted private key and full certificate chain:

keystore_path: 'certificate_with_certificate_chain.p12'

For more information see HTTPS certificates.

---

keystore_password

Needed for HTTPS connections only. This password opens the keystore file. This password has no relation to user login accounts.

Password for keystore. Needed by keystore_path.

Setting correct password needed to decrypt the keystore file at keystore_path:

keystore_password: 'myPassword'
