Just noticed that Feedback 35284 was implemented in 2015r2, giving the ability to manipulate the args in the app.open event to configure SSL stuff without needing command line arguments…
So I just tried putting the following line into the app.open event in an app to see if it would work:
args.append “–secureport=443”
but I still wasn’t able to connect using https, so then I tried making it 8443 since I was testing on a Mac (latest released version of Yosemite), but that didn’t work either.
Am I misunderstanding how the feature was implemented and/or how it can be used?
You still need to have an SSL certificate available. If you don’t specify a path, it needs to be next to the app, with the same name as the app, but with a .crt extension.
Yep–you nailed it! it worked once I also specified the certificate path (also new in 2015r2!), since I wasn’t able to put the cert in the debug folder since each run clears it out! Also, can’t specify maxsockets=0 to force SSL-only or it fails to launch at all… I’ll put a request in feedback to allow for specifying the port to connect to the app in debug mode (127.0.0.1:8443 or whatever).
Use a build script to copy the cert to the debug folder on every debug.
Right click in the navigator and select Build Step > Copy Files and put it after “Build” in the list.
