Configure secondary encryption in web interface

By default, Adaxes web interface encrypts sensitive data in web requests using RSA-2048, securing them even if you have not configured SSL for Adaxes web interface. This option provides a secondary layer of encryption to certain data, but becomes mostly redundant when you configure SSL and enforce HTTPS for all traffic.

In addition, Adaxes signs web requests to prevent tampering in transit. You may need to disable this feature if you use third-party network security applications or reverse proxies that monitor traffic and inject their own headers, as these modifications break the signature and cause legitimate requests to fail.

To disable the secondary encryption mechanisms:

1. Open Adaxes web interface configurator.

    How

   • On the computer, where Adaxes web interface configurator is installed, open Windows Start menu.

   • Type Adaxes web interface configurator.

   • Press Enter.

2. In the top left corner, select the web interface you want to customize.

3. In the left navigation menu, click Advanced.

   If the left navigation menu is not displayed, click the icon in the top left corner.

4. To disable asymmetric encryption of sensitive information in web requests, set the Encrypt sensitive data in-transit option to No.

5. To disable request signing, set the Sign HTTP requests option to No.

6. Save the changes.

   To apply the changes to other web interfaces, click the down arrow button in the top right corner of the section and then click Apply to other web interfaces.
