Using SSL with Contenta
This section describes the registry settings required by the Contenta Perl API to support Secure Socket Layer (SSL) and debugging in Contenta Web.
Registry Settings for the Contenta Perl API
This section provides information on settings that may need to be adjusted for the Contenta Perl API to support SSL and debugging.
Contenta delivers Perl tools on the web server, client, and application server. Contenta adapters also use Perl. In addition, some sites have custom Perl tools. Therefore, these settings affect all tiers of the Contenta application. If your site is not using SSL, the default values may be sufficient; otherwise, these settings must be adjusted on all tiers.
- HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\XyEnterprise\Content@\Web\URLS cw_baseURL
This key stores the path to the CW base URL and is required by web services and is set during the Contenta install.
- HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\XyEnterprise\Content@\Web\Settings XYV_PDM_PERLAPI_DEBUG
Set this key to turn debugging in the Perl API on or off. Values are 0 to 10, where 0 is off and 10 is maximum verbosity. The default value is 0.
- HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\XyEnterprise\Content@\Settings\Directories Logs
This key stores the path where debug logs are stored when Perl API debugging is turned on. The default value is Contenta_Home\logs.
- HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\XyEnterprise\Content@\Web\Settings XYV_SSL_CERT_PATH
If the web server is using SSL, set this key to the path to the SSL certificate in PEM format. If this key is not set correctly, the system will display the following error message:
For web services to work with your secure web server, you must set registry value: Content@\Web\Settings XYV_SSL_CERT_PATH or environment variable XYV_SSL_CERT_PATH to pathname of SSL certificate file. The certificate must be in PEM format.
