TLS termination
Where the encrypted session ends. After that hop, know whether the rest of the path is still trusted.
What is TLS termination?
Termination is the component that holds the certificate and speaks TLS to the client. Behind it, traffic may be cleartext on a private network or re-encrypted. The app must know the original scheme to build links. The certificate’s private key lives only on the terminator.
Why does TLS termination matter when vibe coding?
Models terminate in the app and at the proxy, or they generate https URLs while the app thinks it is http. Name the one place.
How do you do TLS termination?
Terminate at the edge proxy. Forward protocol in one header the app trusts from that proxy only. Renew the cert there. Do not spread the private key to every instance unless they each terminate.
How do you ask a model for TLS termination?
Terminate TLS at (proxy), not in every app instance. Forward the original scheme in one header. The app trusts that header only from the proxy. Do not copy the private key into the image.
What goes wrong with TLS termination?
Termination that accepts old TLS versions and weak ciphers “for compatibility.” Compatibility with whom. Turn the old ones off.
