HUE URL from http to https

Awisawe — Tue, 21 Apr 2026 13:45:37 GMT

Hello

I am using HUE 3.10 with Mapr distro.

I wish to use https instead of http and I am not able to achieve this.

For ex: https://hostname:8888

There is no log printed when i change secure=true in hue.ini

Please help.

Hello Awisawe,

In order for Hue to work over HTTPS, it needs a TLS certificate and a corresponding private key. These are configured via ssl_certificate, ssl_private_key, and ssl_password variables. We've documentation about setting up Hue as TLS/SSL server for Cloudera Enterprise, which you may be able to adapt to your distribution.

Best regards,
Zsolt
