Optional features
=================
Some optional features may be activated or deactivated during the interactive configuration step. These features change configuration files (during the ``configure`` step) as well as make targets.
SSL/TLS certificates for HTTPS access
-------------------------------------
By activating this feature, a free SSL/TLS certificate from the `Let's Encrypt <https://letsencrypt.org/>`_ certificate authority will be created for your platform. With this feature, **your platform will no longer be accessible in HTTP**. Calls to http urls will be redirected to https url.
The following DNS records must exist and point to your server::
LMS_HOST (e.g: myopenedx.com)
preview.LMS_HOST (e.g: preview.myopenedx.com)
CMS_HOST (e.g: studio.myopenedx.com)
Thus, **this feature will (probably) not work in development** because the DNS records will (probably) not point to your development machine.
To create the certificate manually, run::
tutor local https create
To renew the certificate, run this command once per month::
tutor local https renew
Student notes
-------------
With `notes <https://edx.readthedocs.io/projects/open-edx-building-and-running-a-course/en/open-release-hawthorn.master/exercises_tools/notes.html?highlight=notes>`_, students can annotate portions of the courseware.

:alt: Notes in action
You should beware that the ``notes.<LMS_HOST>`` domain name should be activated and point to your server. For instance, if your LMS is hosted at http://myopenedx.com, the notes service should be found at http://notes.myopenedx.com.
Xqueue
------
`Xqueue <https://github.com/edx/xqueue>`_ is for grading problems with external services. If you don't know what it is, you probably don't need it.
