To understand how to setup the certificates themselves, please see 36 the [Agent's Gossip and RPC Encryption](/docs/agent/encryption.html). 37 38 ## `tls` Parameters 39 40 - `ca_file` `(string: "")` - Specifies the path to the CA certificate to use for 41 Nomad's TLS communication. 42 43 - `cert_file` `(string: "")` - Specifies the path to the certificate file used 44 for Nomad's TLS communication. 45 46 - `key_file` `(string: "")` - Specifies the path to the key file to use for 47 Nomad's TLS communication. 48 49 - `http` `(bool: false)` - Specifies if TLS should be enabled on the HTTP 50 endpoints on the Nomad agent, including the API. 51 52 - `rpc` `(bool: false)` - Specifies if TLS should be enabled on the RPC 53 endpoints and [Raft][raft] traffic between the Nomad servers. Enabling this on 54 a Nomad client makes the client use TLS for making RPC requests to the Nomad 55 servers. 56 57 - `verify_https_client` `(bool: false)` - Specifies agents should require 58 client certificates for all incoming HTTPS requests. The client certificates 59 must be signed by the same CA as Nomad. 60 61 - `verify_server_hostname` `(bool: false)` - Specifies if outgoing TLS 62 connections should verify the server's hostname. 63 64 ## `tls` Examples 65 66 The following examples only show the `tls` stanzas. Remember that the 67 `tls` stanza is only valid in the placements listed above. 68 69 ### Enabling TLS 70 71 This example shows enabling TLS configuration. This enables TLS communication 72 between all servers and clients using the default system CA bundle and 73 certificates. 74 75 ```hcl 76 tls { 77 http = true 78 rpc = true 79 80 ca_file = "/etc/certs/ca.crt" 81 cert_file = "/etc/certs/nomad.crt" 82 key_file = "/etc/certs/nomad.key" 83 } 84 ``` 85 86 [raft]: https://github.com/hashicorp/serf "Serf by HashiCorp"
