If you do not have official SSL certificates, you can use self-signed certificates. + +{% include 'notebox_begin' %} + +Most Arvados clients and services will accept self-signed certificates when the @ARVADOS_API_HOST_INSECURE@ environment variable is set to @true@. However, web browsers generally do not make it easy for users to accept self-signed certificates from Web sites. + +Users who log in through Workbench will visit at least three sites: the SSO server, the API server, and Workbench itself. When a browser visits each of these sites, it will warn the user if the site uses a self-signed certificate, and the user must accept it before continuing. This procedure usually only needs to be done once in a browser. + +After that's done, Workbench includes JavaScript clients for other Arvados services. Users are usually not warned if these client connections are refused because the server uses a self-signed certificate, and it is especially difficult to accept those cerficiates: + +* JavaScript connects to the Websockets server to provide incremental page updates and view logs from running jobs. +* JavaScript connects to the API and Keepproxy servers to upload local files to collections. +* JavaScript connects to the Keep-web server to download log files. + +In sum, Workbench will be much less pleasant to use in a cluster that uses self-signed certificates. You should avoid using self-signed certificates unless you plan to deploy a cluster without Workbench; you are deploying only to evaluate Arvados as an individual system administrator; or you can push configuration to users' browsers to trust your self-signed certificates. + +{% include 'notebox_end' %} + +By convention, we use the following hostname pattern:
