Hello everyone, I have a question about Certificates- JKS file format - CER file format
I’m using Heroku for deploying my app , its running on HTTPs look like <https://myapp.herokuapp.com/>
So Do I need to generate a Certificates, JSK, CER for security ??
Ref: https://ktor.io/servers/certificates.html#cer-file-format

[dave]

If it's a standard heroku plan (and unless you're doing anything bespoke - which AFAIK heroku doesn't support) they'll take care of TLS termination for you (and handle certs etc)

thanks @dave

@dave: so If I use private Server or VPN, I must do some stuffs to generate a Certificate to security my application , right ?

[dave]

Possibly- but it really depends on your cloud setup and ingress to the internet - so it's a hard question to answer. 😉

okay, I got it, Thanks @dave :)))) Have a nice day.
