Secure data at rest and in transit20% of the exam
HTTPS listeners and outbound requests
Configure HTTPS at the listener and requester connection, respect runtime TLS restrictions, and distinguish handshake diagnosis from later HTTP-message defects.
Expose and invoke APIs over HTTPS.
~6 min read · 12 practice questions ·
What the exam expects
- Place HTTPS and TLS settings on the actual listener or requester connection.
- Choose valid TLS-context children and preserve their schema order.
- Reconcile application protocol and cipher restrictions with runtime configuration.
- Diagnose TLS negotiation separately from HTTP requests and responses.
Key terms: a listener accepts inbound requests; a requester calls a remote service; a TLS context groups transport-security configuration; a cipher suite describes negotiated cryptography; a handshake establishes the protected connection.
Key facts
Inbound encryption
- Detail
- Select HTTPS on the listener connection.
Outbound default
- Detail
- An HTTPS host/path connection uses port 443 when omitted.
Declared context
- Detail
- Include at least one store child.
Child ordering
- Detail
- Trust-store precedes key-store when both exist.
Expression boundary
- Detail
- The applicable TLS parameters reject event expressions.
Runtime boundary
- Detail
- App selections can narrow globally permitted values.
Default selection
- Detail
- Global TLS configuration takes precedence over Java defaults.
Handshake evidence
- Detail
javax.net.debug=sslenables TLS diagnostics.
- Why should the port-sensitive Host behavior be reported to the server owner?
- When can comparing a working client's raw messages help an HTTPS investigation?
- Which two configured values does HTTP Request use when generating Host?
