End to end SSL

The secure installation, as described in this guide will secure the services communication between themselves and IIS, but not from the end-user to IIS.

Not all installations would require all secure mode (e.g. intranet only). But if needed, follow this steps:

  1. Install the Services in Secure mode.
  2. Open IIS Manager and click on Server Certificates.
  3. Import the certificate and enter a password if required.
  4. Choose Web Server site and click on bindings....
  5. Create a new binding of type https, with default port, and select the imported certificate.
  6. Remove the http binding and change the port of the https binding to the port chosen during install (81 by default).
  7. Open DistributionInstaller.exe.config and find the tag WebAppURL.
  8. Change in its value the protocol from http to https.
  9. Open the Web.Config file (C:\Program Files\Nectari\Nectari Server\WebServer\Web.config) and update the SSO configuration (if applicable).
