I’m still working on encrypting all network traffic between Connections and Component Pack servers. This time I checked the Ingress-Nginx Controller - TLS/HTTPS documentation.

The default configuration for connecting IHS with Component Pack uses the plain HTTP port 32080. All traffic like /social or the Tailored Experience wizard is routed from IHS to Kubernetes on port 32080.

Our target is to encrypt the traffic on port 32443.

Today I read the article KB0118248 and remembered my blog post from 2018 . I also checked the attached aha idea where a comment states that you can use iframe for Youtube. Despite what KB0118248 incorrectly states, it is absolutely possible to embed videos in HCL Connections blogs and wikis using the HTML video tag as demonstrated in this post.

I received several complaints from users who struggle to identify uploaded images in the File Uploads section of blogs. This happens because pasted images get cryptic filenames like editor_image_ + UUID, making it challenging to identify and delete unused images.

I haven’t touched the Connections scripts for a long time, but I recently made some minor updates to fix compatibility issues with newer versions and added small scripts to speed up configuration. I also got the documentation script running from the menu.

Most of the LDAP connections from IBM WebSphere Application Server are configured with TLS. So you need to have the root certificate in the WebSphere truststore to connect.

I had one Connections’ environment that I wanted to switch from OpenLDAP to Active Directory LDAP. The old OpenLDAP environment used LDAPS to connect, and so I assumed that the change was done quickly.

The first step was to make a copy of the tdisol folder I used for OpenLDAP and start changing the configuration files for the new LDAP server.
