I'm setting up the REST API for usage by external entities...in this case for Salesforce, but might be website/shops, WMS integrations, whatever.
Assume a SSL certificate has already been obtained, imported into the local cert store, bound to the URL which matches the URL in the JiwaAPISelfHostedService.exe.config file.
Entry has been made in the HOSTS file as per:
127.0.0.1 jiwaapi.mydomain.com.au
Inside the server, I can browse to the API using https://jiwaapi.mydomain.com.au:4444
All good. Note that only was successful after modifying the HOSTS file.
Now getting it accessed externally. What needs to happen? Who needs to be contacted?
Aside from the unique port getting opened on firewall(s), surely somehow the world needs to know about jiwaapi.mydomain.com.au?
Does the business need to get in touch with the domain host (like GoDaddy, VentraIP or whoever) to add a DNS entry?
If so, which record? A, CNAME, something else?
Anything else need to happen?
