Enabling SSL

Integrated Windows Authentication, combined with the roles setting in the Web.config file and the Groups/Users configuration, defines who can access the application.

User names, passwords, database connection strings, and web application configuration files are transmitted. Therefore, you should require SSL for the PLM Process Configuration application.

If the HTTP binding was removed from the site hosting the PLM Process Configuration application, skip this section.

You can use the same site to host PLM Process Server, PLM Process web client, and PLM Process Configuration. In this case, it is likely that the HTTP binding is still in place for the benefit of PLM Process Server. This can be the case even if the PLM Process web application is restricted to HTTPS.

If both HTTP and HTTPS bindings are enabled for the site hosting PLM Process Configuration, you can restrict the application to HTTPS by completing these steps:

  1. Open IIS Manager.
  2. Select the FsOptivaConfig application.
  3. In the IIS section, select SSL Settings.
  4. Select the Require SSL check box. Then, click Apply.
