Use MATLAB Execution Endpoint URL

After your MATLAB Production Server deployment to Azure is complete, log in to the dashboard to retrieve the MATLAB execution endpoint. The Overview tab in the dashboard specifies the MATLAB Execution Endpoint. For information on accessing the dashboard, see Connect to Dashboard.

This endpoint is an HTTPS URL that client programs use to make requests to the server and execute MATLAB functions deployed to the server. For example, if the MATLAB execution endpoint for your server is https://mpst4ezclcdtlcay.eastus.cloudapp.azure.com, to use the MATLAB Production Server RESTful API to execute a MATLAB function mymagic located in a deployed application myapp, specify the URL https://mpst4ezclcdtlcay.eastus.cloudapp.azure.com/myapp/mymagic.

Download Client Libraries

If you want to write client programs in Java, .NET, C, and Python for invoking MATLAB functions deployed on the server, you must use the MATLAB Production Server client libraries. To download the client libraries, see MATLAB Production Server Client Libraries.

Work with Self-Signed Certificate

The Azure application gateway in the deployment requires an SSL certificate. The application gateway provides the MATLAB execution endpoint, which is an HTTPS URL that client programs use to send requests to the server. IT is recommended that the application gateway uses an SSL certificate signed by a certificate authority. However, if your application gateway uses a self-signed certificate, your client programs might require some modifications.

Client programs might require disabling host name verification to avoid encountering an exception caused by a failure in host name verification. The verification can fail due to a mismatch between the host names in the HTTPS URL for MATLAB function execution and the common name (CN) of the self-signed certificate. For example, the host name for the MATLAB execution endpoint can have the value <uniqueID>.<location>.cloudapp.azure.com, but the CN of your self-signed certificate can have the value azure.com.

Depending on the implementation of your client program, you might also have to retrieve the self-signed certificate that the application gateway uses and add the certificate to your local truststore. For more information on configuring the client environment, see Handle Exceptions for a Java client and Handle Exceptions for a .NET client.

Manage HTTP Cookie

The Azure application gateway provides cookie-based session affinity, where it uses cookies to keep a user session on the same server. On receiving a request from a client program, the application gateway sets the Set-Cookie HTTP response header with information about the server virtual machine (VM) that processes the request.
