[SOLVED] SSL
Hi,
The application is built and now we will deploy on the net using SSL encryption. After installing the SSL certificate I know the URL must change from http ... to https. Are there any other things to do? The application uses HTML forms, Maintain, Table and Modify.
Thank you in advance,
Nick

Information on how to configure SSL can be found in the "WebFOCUS Security and Administration Manual" for your version and release level. Please check the IB documentation website for this document.
Depending on your installation and configuration, there may be more actions you should take; you find it in the manual, it is quite complete.

Nick,

It took me a while to get it configured properly in our environment. We are using Tomcat standalone.

A few gotchas that tripped us up for a while...
1) Needed to add SET WEBARCHIVE=ON to the EDASPROF.PRF file to get Excel Pivot Tables to work properly.
2) Needed to switch from IBI_graphservurl method to IBI_USE_JSCOM3 for graphing
3) In ReportCaster config we had to change the Library and MR Info settings to use the newly constructed URL (https://...)
4) Needed to add -Djava.protocol.handler.pkgs=com.sun.net.ssl.internal.www.protocol to the Apache Java Options

If I think of more I'll add them here.

Hope this helps!

Dan
