HTTPS portal access on a domain and with a certificate from the client organization¶
To guarantee the security of information transmitted during user authentication or requests to the Isogeo API, and to optimize referencing, the data portal supports HTTPS.
The procedure is based on an exchange between Isogeo and the customer organization, which is generally in charge of its :
- Isogeo sends a CSR file(Certificate Signing Request - see wikipedia) linked to the sub-domain name corresponding to the portal (e.g.
geocatalogue.organisme.fr
). - the customer organization generates the certificate from the CSR and sends it in .zip format to Isogeo (ideally in .crt format)
- Isogeo installs the certificate and indicates the IP address to which the domain name should point.
- The client organization points the DNS zone of its domain name to the IP address transmitted.
