Chapter 8. Using SSL for HTTP
This chapter explains how you can use SSL to ensure secure HTTP communication on both, client and
server side.
Beware that the gateway, is acting in both roles of the HTTP model:
1. as HTTP client, i.e. for requesting URLs while acting as WAP gateway and while fetching
information for the SMS services.
2. as HTTP server, i.e. for the administration HTTP interface, the PPG and for the sendsms HTTP
interface.
That is why you can specify seperate certification files within the core group to be used for the HTTP
sides.
You can use one or both sides of the SSL support. There is no mandatory to use both if only one is
desired.

Using SSL client support

To use the client support please use the following configuration directive within the core group
group = core
...
ssl-client-certkey-file = "filename"
Now you are able to use https:// scheme URLs within your WML decks and SMS services.
Using SSL server support for the administration HTTP
interface
To use the SSL-enabled HTTP server please use the following configuration directive within the core
group
group = core
...
admin-port-ssl = true
...
ssl-server-cert-file = "filename"
ssl-server-key-file = "filenane"
