Hey guys,
I have a general question about the topic SSL/HTTPS with Servoy.
What if:
A developer has about 100 legacy Customers which are using a Servoy-App Server and the Smart-Client.
Every customer got his own App-Server at his office. Some are typical Server-Client connections, some use only one PC on which the Client is the Server (localhost:8080/solutions/...).
How does the developer configure the SSL certificate? If i understand it correctly the certificate needs to be signed from a CA with the specific domain of the Server on which the App-Server is running?
That would mean, for every customer the dev needs to get a certificate for his server? That would be a ton of work. Get the domain of the customer, create a certificate, get it signed for a fee, etc... And what about the customers which are using the same PC as server and client? If i remember correctly you cant sign a certificate under "localhost...".
Or can the dev just create a certificate, get it signed by a CA and then roll the same certificate out to every customer? As the domain he would use his company-name/domain for example?
All of that would not matter when he switches to SaaS so every customer connects to the main-server.
Im kinda stuck at this question right now.

I hope you can help me with that question, maybe even a quick guide on how you handle that. I already read the guide on servoy.com but this question i cant explain to myself.
Thanks in advance.
