Should websockets be enabled by default?

Open manics opened this issue 4 years ago • 1 comments

It's had quite a lot of testing, and most of the clients (Python, Java) wil support it by the time 5.6 is released. Should we enable websockets (wss i.e. "secure" only) by default in the server, and provide an east config option in the generated OMERO.web nginx config?

Note for Nginx to proxy wss OMERO will need a self signed certificate (or even better, an official certificate even though it won't be verified by clients) with a supported cipher i.e. not anon-DH as is currently used for omero ssl.

No objection, but I'd put this after the general 5.6 release blockers.
