Securing Web Console with a HTTPS Certificate

Securing Web Console with a HTTPS Certificate

By default, the Currentware Web Console creates a self-signed certificate on the server.  If you wish to replace this with a valid 3rd party certificate, you can follow this guide. 

  1. Install your certificate into IIS.  You can follow this guide from DigiCert HERE
  2. Update the Bindings in IIS for the RESTAPI and WebConsole sites
    1. Launch IIS from the start menu
    2. Expand the server and Sites containers
    3. Right-click the WebConsole site and choose Edit Bindings

    4. Click on the binding in the new window and select Edit

    5. In the SSL Certificate dropdown, select your SSL Certificate and click OK
    6. Close the Site Bindings Window.
    7. Repeat this process for the RESTAPI site. 
  3. If you've configured a URL for accessing the WebConsole you will need to update your app-config.json file.  This process can be found in section 2 of THIS KB.  
    1. Update the server's hostname to the URL for your SSL Certificate.
