via HTTPS, but browser will warn about unknown certificate.

To avoid the warning, the customer should provide trusted, signed certificate in p12 format. If the format is different, then it needs to be converted into p12 format and copied it to this folder: conf/keystore/

Тhe command to convert is:
openssl pkcs12 -export -in fullchain.pem -inkey privkey.pem -out fullchain_and_key.p12 -name dw -caname root
… where:
fullchain.pem  - is customer's certificate
privkey.pem  - private key
fullchain_and_key.p12 - is the name of result certificate
During the conversion a password is requested. The same password should be specified in /conf/application.yml , in the property: authConfiguration: https: keyStorePassword

Start on Linux

Make sure that java 1.8 is installed.

Run these commands:

cd {app_home}

...

sudo screen -dmSL masking java -Duser.timezone=GMT -Dfile.encoding=UTF-8 -Dconsole.encoding=UTF-8 -jar data-masking-1.0-SNAPSHOT.jar

If screen is not installed, it is also possible to use nohup:

cd {app_home}
sudo nohup java -Duser.timezone=GMT

...

In case of special locale of the shell, add these parameters:
