Option for HTTPS transport backend while installing Git client on Bitbucket server

[Ramana Rainn]

I"m installing Bitbucket 5.14 version on Windows 2016 server. While installing the Git client which option I've to choose for HTTPS transport backend?.  Is it use the OpenSSL library or use the native Windows Secure Channel library?.

I am going to configure SSL on 443 for Bitbucket server. is there any dependency on Git client HTTPS transport backend method while configuring SSL for Bitbucket?. If I use native Windows Secure channel library, do I need to upload the bitbucket SSL certificates to Windows certificate store?

Hi Ramana,

OpenSSL library is typically what is used on linux installations though there isn't necessarily a recommendation on which to use.  When it comes to using SSL certificates, you will need to ensure that the system and server are trusting each-other or rather that git is trusting connections from your Bitbucket URL and vice versa.
