Configuring the Internet Information Services (IIS) -
Adding the HTTPS site binding to the server’s default website

You must specify a binding to the default website of the server to activate installed certificate and use it for secure communications.

Adding the HTTPS site binding

conf_ImportCert_IIS_RunINETMGR_Homepage_Sites_DefaultWebSite_Bindings_AddBinding_ServerCertificate

Under Connections, select Sites > Default Web Site.

Select Edit Site > Bindings... from the Actions and click the Add... button in the Site Bindings window.

In the Add Site Binding window, enter the host name and port for secure communications via HTTPS.

Type

Select https under Type.

IP address

Select All Unassigned under IP address.

Port

Enter

443

under Port.

Hostname

Enter the fully qualified domain name (FQDN) of the host under Hostname.

If the server is part of a domain, the domain must also be contained in the host name.

The name specified here must also be contained in the server certificate.

SSL certificate

Select the server certificate you just imported from the drop-down list under SSL certificate.

You can check the properties of the selected certificate by clicking View.

Deleting all other site bindings to the server’s default website

To ensure that the server only uses secure HTTPS communication, delete all other bindings for the default website.

If you want to configure the Central Server from the Servicetrace Robotic solution Application Performance Monitoring (APM) to communicate via both HTTP and HTTPS, leave the HTTP binding active in addition to the HTTPS binding.

The X1 Server from the Servicetrace Robotic solution XceleratorOne (RPA) can only be used with one of the two protocols. The protocol that is not used must no longer be contained in the site bindings.

conf_ImportCert_IIS_RunINETMGR_Homepage_Sites_DefaultWebSite_Bindings_RemoveHTTPBinding

Under Connections, select Sites > Default Web Site.

Select Edit Site > Bindings... from the Actions.

In the Site Bindings window, select all the bindings you want to delete and click the Remove button.

When https is the only item remaining in the list, the server can only use this binding for communication.
