  1. Change the URL in the import config files from 
                              <serverUrl>http://matroos.rws.nl/direct</serverUrl>
    to
                             <serverUrl>https://matroos.rws.nl/direct</serverUrl>

  2. Add the attached file client.truststore to the root of your region folder. Note that this file has been generated based on the current certificate matroos.rws.nl.crt (dec. 2015) which will expire somewhere between 2018 - 2020. Before that time it should be updated.

    In case you have already an existing truststore, the certificate matroos.rws.nl.crt should be added to that existing file. See for details the below related article on how to manage that.

  3. Note that you have a FEWS version 2014.01 or higher (or patch) with at least build number 57691 in case you use only a client.truststore. Older versions need a set of both client.keystore and client.truststore. Alternative is to add just a dummy client.keystore.

  4. In case you have still a FEWS version with Java 7, you need to ensure that Java uses the correct TLS protocol v1.2. This is already correct in Java 8. To use TLSv1.2 with Java 7, you should define the next argument in the mc proxy conf or jpif/ini file: -Dhttps.protocols=TLSv1.2

 

Since FEWS 207.02 it is recommended to configure the client.truststore explicitly in the ClientConfig.xml. An example configuration looks as follows:

Code Block
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<clientConfiguration xmlns="http://www.wldelft.nl/fews" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.wldelft.nl/fews
http://fews.wldelft.nl/schemas/version1.0/clientConfig.xsd">
	<localDataStoreFormat>Derby</localDataStoreFormat>
	<clientStore>
		<trustStoreFile>%REGION_HOME%/rws.truststore</trustStoreFile>		
	</clientStore>
</clientConfiguration>
