This chapter describes two ways to run server-side simulation with a self-signed certificate.

To run server-side simulation with SSL

• Do one of the following:

  • Use the following request to connect to Web Application Platform and provide the path to the certificate file:

    Note
    In the request, make sure to provide the IP or hostname for which the certificate was generated.

    
    

    Code Block
    client = SimulationWebClient('<WebApp_server_IP_or_hostname>', '<user_name>', '<password>', verifySSL='<path_to_certificate_file>')

    
    

  • Add the self-signed certificate to the Python trusted certificates list by completing the following steps:

    1. In Jupyter Notebook, execute the following commands to find the path, where the cacert.pem file of trusted certificates is located:

       Code Block
       import certifi print(certifi.where())

       
       

    2. Open the certificate file with a text editor and copy all information inside the file.
    3. Open the cacert.pem file with a text editor and paste the copied information at the end of the file, as shown below.
       
       
       
       

    4. Use the following request to connect to Web Application Platform:

       Note
       In the request, make sure to provide the IP or hostname for which the certificate was generated.

       
       

       Code Block
       client = SimulationWebClient('WebApp_server_IP_or_hostname>', '<user_name>', '<password>', verifySSL=True)
