New features and enhancements in LiveContent S1000D 5.2

This section lists features and enhancements that were introduced in LiveContent S1000D 5.2.

Native HTTPS Support

Native HTTPS support is available with this version release. The underlying HTTP server has been replaced with Jetty. Jetty is a standards-based, open source web server that supports both HTTP and HTTPS. The Jetty web server and other core Jetty components are hosted and stewarded by the Eclipse Foundation.

There are no administration or user changes required for customers who plan to continue using HTTP.

Customers who want to implement HTTPS will need to
  • obtain and install an SSL certificate for the Jetty web server, and
  • configure LiveContent S1000D to use an SSL connection with the Jetty server.
Refer to one of the following guides as appropriate for detailed instructions on the required setup:
  • Configuration Guide for Windows: The "Configuring HTTPS" section near the end of Chapter 1, Overview.
  • Configuration Guide for UNIX: The "Configuring HTTPS" section near the end of Chapter 1, Overview.
  • Delivery Server Installation and Configuration Guide: Chapter 2, Configuring HTTPS.
