Configuring ObserveIT Application Server for Data Transit Encryption

To configure ObserveIT Application server for data in transit encryption, you need to set the protocol to HTTPS, not HTTP. In addition, you need SSL certification.

1. Connect to the ObserveIT Web Console machine and if you need, request or create a digital certificate.

2. From the Start menu and type Run. Enter.

3. Type IIS, select the Internet Information Services (IIS) Manager. Enter.

4. From the menus, expand Sites.

5. Right-click the ObserveITApplication website, and select Edit Bindings.

6. Click Add.

7. Change the value in the Type field from http to https.

8. Make sure the value for Port field is set at 443.

9. Under SSL certificate select the certificate you have created or acquired.

10. Click OK to create the bindings. Click Close to close the window.

When enabling HTTPS encryption on an existing ObserveIT installation, with existing ObserveIT Agents, remember that removing an existing, non-encrypted binding, will cause existing ObserveIT Agents to cease communications with the ObserveIT Application Server. It is recommended to leave as-is the previous, non-encrypted binding at this point.
