TLS Handshake for Pega Platform to call REST API's in Constellation App Static and Messaging Containers
I would like to set up a local learning environment for Constellation, including the App Static and Messaging containers. By reading the documentations, it's my understanding that Pega platform sends customer authored content to the App Static and Messaging containers using REST API.
Given that it is a local learning environment, I was planning to use self-signed certificates for TLS connections. I have the following questions regarding the REST calls from the Pega platform to AppStatic and Messaging services:
1) Are these calls using Connect-REST rules? If yes, can someone share what they are?
2) Can I assume that I can use this approach https://docs.pega.com/bundle/platform/page/platform/security/managing-x509-certificates.html to import the certificates into the Pega platform, assuming it's "YES" to question #1.
3) If the answer to Question #1 is NO, does it mean the certificates have to be imported into the CACERTS of the app server?
Your help is very much appreciated.
Thanks, Terence
