Hi Sean, Switching your mid-tier to SSL is actually a rather simple, two-step process:
1. Configure your webserver to accept SSL connections: In this case, you're using Apache 2. Look in the webserver documentation, or in one of the many HOWTO's on the Internet, for the steps involved. Rather verbose documentation is to be found on the Apache website itself: http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.0/ssl/ This step will also involve applying a certificate to your server. If your company has a procedure in place to generate certificates, and those certificates are trusted by your user's browsers, go with that. If not, I would strongly advise to purchase a certificate from a Certificate Authority such as Verisign or Thawte. You might want to configure your server in a matter that requests to http will be re-written to httpS automatically. That way, user's bookmarks, and also links from old notifications, still work. Google "mod_rewrite http https" for that. 2. Update the Default Web Path via Remedy Administrator to the new http(s) address: Server information --> Advanced -->Default Web Path That's it. Good luck and kind regards, -- Michiel Beijen Software Consultant +31 6 - 457 42 418 Bee Free IT + http://beefreeit.nl On Mon, Jun 15, 2009 at 18:01, Sean Harrodine <[email protected]>wrote: > ** Hi all, > > We are still running 6.3 on suse linux but are being asked to move from > using http to https. > > The mid-tier config tool shows.... > > Web Server Information = Apache/2.0.59 (Unix) ServletExecAS/5.0 > > and.... > > Java Version = 1.4.2 > > > Can anyone point me in the direction of any documentation detailing the > steps please (if any exists !) and any possible pitfalls. > > TIA, > > Sean > > _Platinum Sponsor: [email protected] ARSlist: "Where the Answers > Are"_ _______________________________________________________________________________ UNSUBSCRIBE or access ARSlist Archives at www.arslist.org Platinum Sponsor:[email protected] ARSlist: "Where the Answers Are"
