Configuring HTTPS Protocol For The Server – uPerform On-Premise Manuals

To configure HTTPS for the Server, you will perform three procedures:

Install the HTTPS certificate to the Collaboration website.
Add the HTTPS certificate to the Java list of trusted certificates.
Configure uPerform using the Configuration Wizard.

Configuring HTTPS Protocol

Select Start > Administrative Tools > Internet Information Services (IIS) Manager.
Select the local computer name.
In the Features view, double-click Server Certificates.
Under Actions, click Create Certificate Request.

Complete the IIS Certificate Wizard to install the certificate. Information for the IIS Certificate Wizard can be found at: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc731977%28v=ws.10%20%29.

NOTE:

The Server blocks SSL 2 and SSL 3 (the unsecure protocols); however, they are not disabled in IIS. Disabling SSL 2.0/3.0 must be done manually through IIS. TLS 1.0, TLS 1.1, and TLS 1.2 are supported. The same certificate is generated with the specified protocols for the Server to use.

Under Connections, expand [Computer Name], then Sites.
Select the Collaboration website.
On the right side, click Bindings.
Click Add.
For Type select https.
For port enter the port for SSL, typically 443.
Under SSL certificate, select the certificate that was created.
Click OK.
Click Close.
In the Features view, double-click SSL settings.
Select the Require SSL and the Require 128-bit SSL checkboxes.
Click Apply.
Under Client Certificates, select the Ignore option.
Under Actions, click Apply.
Run the command prompt as an administrator.
On the command line, enter cmd.
Click OK.

On the command line, enter [InstallDirectory]\java\bin\keytool -import -alias uperform -file "[CertificateLocation]\[CertificateFilename]" -keystore "[InstallDirectory]\java\jre\lib\security\cacerts"

NOTE:

[InstallDirectory] is the location where uPerform is installed. For example: "C:\VignetteOpenText\Collaboration."[CertificateLocation] is the directory which contains the certificate. [CertificateFilename] is the filename of the certificate (including the extension).

Enter the password for the certificate. The default password is changeit.
Press the Enter key.
At the prompt to trust the certificate, enter Y to trust the certificate.
Press the Enter key to trust the certificate and complete the process of adding the certificate to the java keystore.
Close the command line window.
Locate the ConfigurationWizard.exe file in the [Install Location]\Collaboration\uPerform\ms folder.
Double-click the ConfigurationWizard.exe file.
Click Allow, if prompted.
Select Connection Information.
Click Start.
Change the IIS website port to the SSL port (typically port 443).
Enter the Collaboration server port (typically 8080).
Select HTTPS from the Protocol drop-down list.
Enter the External Server DNS Hostname.
Click Configure.
Click No to close the Configuration Wizard.
Restart IIS.
Navigate to the uPerform website. For example: https://[servername].

The browser might display a certificate warning depending on the type of certificate used.
