using port
(the default port for HTTPS connections). Change these values to suit your own requirements.

An endpoint is a combination of an IP address and a port number. In |

Having found the thumbprint for the certificate you want to use, you must now create a binding between that certificate and the endpoint that Echo will be listening on.
To see which endpoints are currently bound to which certificates, issue the following command:

Enabling HTTPS in Echo
Finally, you must enable HTTPS and set the protocol and port number in the
configuration file for Echo, as per the following example snippet:
| Code Block |
|---|
| title | settings.xml |
|---|
| theme | RDark |
|---|
| language | html/xml |
|---|
|
...
<web>
<bindAddress>192.168.0.179</bindAddress>
<protocol>https</protocol>
<port>8443<<port>443</port>
<username>xxxxxxxxxx</username>
<password>xxxxxxxxxx</password>
</web>
... |
As with any manual change to the configuration file, the Echo application should be restarted for your changes to take effect.
