Configuring for SSL
6.Examine the certificate overview, click Next, and the click Finish. A certificate is now installed on the ETV Portal Server.
4. Configure Portal Server Resources for SSL
After installing the certificate on the Portal Server, the Portal Server can now be configured for SSL. As explained below, the Portal Server supports two different modes for SSL security:
•Hardened SSL – All pages in the Portal Server Admin and Portal Server client applications are secured with SSL. Users will see the padlock icon at the bottom of the screen on all pages.
•
Note You must select one and only one of these modes for configuring the Portal Server. The application cannot run with both modes enabled and attempting to do so will result in an application error.
Configure Hardened SSL
In hardened SSL mode, the Portal Server encrypts all pages in the Portal Server Admin application and all pages in the Portal Server client application. Be aware that hardened SSL encryption requires significant resources and can substantially impact performance. Use hardened SSL only when absolutely necessary in environments that require all pages to be encrypted.
TTo configure the Portal Server in Hardened SSL Mode:
1.Login to the Windows Server that is hosting the ETV Portal Server application with a valid local Windows administrator account or domain account with local administrative permissions.
2.Launch the Internet Information Services Manager. Go to Start > Control Panel > Administrative Tools > Internet Information Services (IIS) Manager.
