SSL/TLS/SPDY Support
Appium 2.2 introduces the option to start the Appium server with SSL/TLS support.
Command Line Arguments¶
In order to enable secure connections to the server, you need to provide the following command line arguments:
Both arguments must be provided and should contain paths to a valid X509 PEM certificate and its corresponding private key.
After the server is started use the https protocol and a client supporting SSL/TLS or
SPDY to communicate to it.
Supported Features¶
Once a secure server socket is established it supports the following protocols:
['h2', 'spdy/3.1', 'spdy/3', 'spdy/2', 'http/1.1', 'http/1.0']. See
the SPDY node module documentation to get more details about
its features. All insecure client connections will be rejected by the server.
Self-Signed Certificates¶
Use the following command in order to generate a self-signed certificate/key pair:
openssl req -nodes -new -x509 -keyout key.pem -out cert.pem -subj "/C=US/ST=State/L=City/O=company/OU=Com/CN=www.testserver.local"
Feel free to change the value of -subj in the command above with your matching details. The server
should work just fine with a self-signed certificate, although you need to take care about a proper
client setup, e.g. make sure it does not reject unauthorized certificates.
