TLS with certs?

Mobile Sync Gateway
1

Hi

I’m using Sync Gateway behind Nginx and using cookies for auth, which works fine for mobile client access.

I’d also quite like to be able to use something like CouchDB’s ssl_trusted_certificates_file for TLS connection from a peer databases. Does this already exist in Sync Gateway? I know it has HTTPS support.

I could maybe configure Nginx to accept only signed certs on another port and proxy to 4985 but it feels a little wrong to expose the admin port like that, one config typo and booom!

any suggestions?

Settled on using basic auth over https as it has the advantage of authentication as well as authorisation.
