How Automatic Setup Works in RavenDB

How Automatic Setup Works in RavenDB

One of the coolest features in the RC2 release for RavenDB is the automatic setup — in particular, how we managed to get a completely automated, secured setup with a minimal amount of fuss on the user’s end.

You can watch the whole thing from start to finish — it takes about three minutes to go through the process (if you aren’t also explaining what you are doing) and you have a fully secured cluster talking to each other over secured TLS 1.2 channels. This was made harder because we are actually running with trusted certificates. This was a hard requirement because we use the RavenDB Studio to manage the server, and that is a web application hosted on RavenDB itself. As such, it is subject to all the usual rules of browser-based applications, including scary warnings and inability to act if the certificate isn’t valid and trusted.
