Redirect FOP uses HTTPS (TLS) for transport layer security.
Transport layer encryption with HTTPS
All API endpoints must be served using HTTPS with TLS 1.2 or higher. API
clients must have common name (CN) checking turned on and the server's CN or
wildcards must match the hostname.
We strongly recommend using a certificate issued under a root certificate
included in the
Mozilla CA certification program
to reduce the level of maintenance necessary to keep this connection healthy.
However, if necessary, we do allow partners to issue self-signed certificates
that we can trust.
Cipher suites
The server must support at least one of these cipher suites and should not
support cipher suites outside of the following set:
ECDHE-ECDSA-AES128-GCM-SHA256
ECDHE-RSA-AES128-GCM-SHA256
ECDHE-ECDSA-CHACHA20-POLY1305
ECDHE-RSA-CHACHA20-POLY1305
ECDHE-ECDSA-AES128-SHA256
ECDHE-RSA-AES128-SHA256
