Enabling HTTPS encrypts the communication between clients and the InfluxDB server. Enabling TLS encrypts the communication between clients and the InfluxDB server.
When configured with a signed certificate, HTTPS can also verify the authenticity of the InfluxDB server to connecting clients. When configured with a signed certificate, TLS also allows clients to verify the authenticity of the InfluxDB server.
This pages outlines how to set up TLS over HTTPS with InfluxDB using either a signed or self-signed certificate. To set up TLS over HTTPS, do the following:
- [Obtain requirements](#requirements)
