Transport Layer Security (TLS)

The CCM web application does not employ native TLS. It runs on plain, unencrypted http://. Secure TLS (https://) is achieved using nginx to serve TLS / SSL certificates and to establish secure connections.

After CCM is configured for a given customer, and a port is selected for the web application, nginx must be configured. Usuually, a top level domain is added to the ccm.smrttouch.com domain (e.g. customer.ccm.smrttouch.com) with an A-REC specifying the selected port, and the nginx config is updated to redirect http connections to https and to proxy users to the right associated port.

This part of the configuration is handled by NobelBiz tech support.
