This chapter contains two sections: the first section details a procedure for connecting Nexus to a remote repository which requires client-side SSL certificates and the second section details the configuration for serving SSL directly from Nexus. When you set up a repository manager for a team of developers spread out over a variety of locations both internal and external to a corporate network, you will likely want to secure your repository using SSL. The instructions in this chapter assume that you are running Nexus embedded in Jetty.
