Using HTTPS to send data

[Former Member]

Hi All,

If use HTTPS to send data out of XI does it mean that the data is encrypted when it is sent out from xi to the third party system?

No.Not like that.HTTPS used for transport level security. What it means before transferring the data server will give the handshake to third party using your server certificate. If the certificate is matches the target system Get the response back. After that your data from xi system to third party system will transfer.

Hi

HTTPS

Secure HyperText Transfer Protocol (HTTPS) is for all practical purposes HTTP. The chief distinction is that it uses TCP Port 443 by default, so HTTP and HTTPS are two separate communications. HTTPS works in conjunction with another protocol, Secure Sockets Layer (SSL), to transport data safely. Remember, HTTP and HTTPS donu2019t care how the data gets to its destination. In contrast, SSL doesnu2019t care what the data looks like. People often use the terms HTTPS and SSL interchangeably, but this isnu2019t accurate. HTTPS is secure because it uses SSL to move data

yes. HTTPS uses the encrypted Secure Sockets Layer to transfer the data (or Transport Layer Security).
