Add endpoints and SSL | License Web Docs

Add HTTP and HTTPS endpoints so License Web listens on other ports or host names, with your own SSL certificate.

Endpoints control the URLs and ports License Web listens on. Add endpoints when you want License Web to serve requests directly on public URLs, or on a different port or host name.

If you publish License Web through a reverse proxy (recommended), you usually do not need to add endpoints. Serving License Web directly on a public URL is also a valid, secure option.

Add an endpoint#

Go to Admin > End points.

By default there is one endpoint, http://localhost:7070. You cannot edit or delete the default endpoint.
Select Add Endpoint.
Choose the Protocol: http or https.
Enter the Domain, for example licenseweb.yourdomain.com.
Enter the Port, for example 80 for public HTTP.
For an https endpoint, upload the SSL certificate and enter its password if it has one.
Select Add Endpoint.

The new endpoint appears in the list.
Restart the License Web service to apply the change.

You can add, edit and delete endpoints at any time. There is no limit on the number of endpoints.

Best practices#

Running behind a reverse proxy#

Keep only the default endpoint and do not add others. Point your reverse proxy at http://localhost:7070. See Configure a reverse proxy.

Running License Web publicly#

To serve License Web directly on public URLs with standard ports, add an http endpoint on port 80 and an https endpoint on port 443. You can reach License Web on several URLs; point each URL's DNS record at the License Web server.
