In some cases you can also create a Certificate Bundle for nginx. Otherwise those machine will treat the site's certificates as "untrusted" because it will be coming from an unknown Certificate Authority.
#Jenkins mac network drive install
However, the down side of doing it this way is that you need to go over all machines in the network and install the CA in browsers and all necessary keystores. There are multiple tutorials for this available online and you can use easy-rsa to do the heavy lifting. The CSR can then be signed by the CA and returned to whoever needs it (in this case the Nginx server). It is possible to create a private CA certificate and use it to sign a Certificate Signing Request (or CSR). What makes a certificate "valid" or "invalid"? It's the Certificate Authority.
#Jenkins mac network drive update
They update it relatively often so the proposed settings are usually up-to-date. If you would like to enhance the security even further - you can follow cipherli.st's guide.
Just follow the guide and it should create a relatively secured vhost. To configure nginx to work with TLS/SSL certificate you can use to generate the template. You can find a bunch of questions in that ask about this and many of them even link to RFCs where you can read the full detailed explanations of how it all works. You really need to read on what TLS/SSL is and how it works before you continue. Your question is very broad, but I'll try to answer it. The JenkinsAPI could also be of interest (better docs at least), found via Where can I find jenkins restful api reference? For example maybe checking the status of all the configured jobs or at least that of the critical ones would be more useful, which could be done using the. Without a consistent, universally acceptable definition of a health status there is no point of providing such information as a single, one-stop location to check.īut Jenkins offers via its Remote access API various checking points that users can combine to derive their interpretation of the overall service health status. However that doesn't mean the service is properly configured for and correctly performing all the jobs that it's supposed to be doing.
You mentioned the definition being service is up and web app application is operational and for that indeed checking the homepage should suffice. The complication reside in the definition of the health status (and its usefulness).
