Configuring Administration Console for a secure connection

If you are configuring WBCS to use HTTPS, you will also need to configure Administration Console to connect securely to WBCS.

Note: his procedure assumes that you have already completed the configuration for HTTPS in WBCS as outlined in Requesting a signed certificate for WBCS and Configuring HTTP and HTTPS in WBCS.
  1. Open the settings.conf file with a text editor. The file is located in the \conf sub-directory of the WBCS installation file.
  2. Modify ssl.adminConsole.enabled setting to the following:
    ssl.adminConsole.enabled=true
  3. Save the settings.conf file and restart the WBCS service.
  4. Connect to WBCS with Administration Console.
    See Using the Administration Console.
Once connected to WBCS in secure mode, Administration Console will display Connected Securely to: <hostname or IP address>:<port> on the title bar. For HTTP or non-secure connections, Administration Console will display Connected to: <hostname or IP address>:<port>.
