missing documentation for secure-websockets #47

Closed bchase78 closed 8 years ago

bchase78 commented 8 years ago

There is code implementing secure-websockt communication.

Our goal is to enable secure-websockets and do some performance testing.

I have created a valid Webserver certificate, but I do not know how to configure it for use with the ndt server. I was not able to find any documentaion of this.

What are the steps necessary to configure ndt with secure-websockets?

Where would you like this documentation to live? In INSTALL? In README? The short version is that you need three arguments to pass three arguments to web100srv to get secure testing working: --tls_port, --certificate, and --private_key

Thanks. That is what I was looking for. I guess I was a little blind not seeing that in the sources.

As far as Documentation goes, I personally don't have any requirements as, I have worked my way through most of the material. But that being said, the current Documentation from Internet2 is somewhat dated. There is a steep learning curve for someone getting started with NDT for the first time and current Documentation would probably help.
