HTTPS protocol is mandatory for all communication to Action Center on all the browsers on which users access the web application. The following 3 types of web certificates can be used.
- A web certificate issued by a trusted Certification Authority, such as GoDaddy, VeriSign, etc. The web certificate has to be imported to Server Certificates in IIS. You need to know the name of the "Issued To" entity, which has to be provided when prompted by the Windows installer.
- You are a Certification Authority that can issue certificates trusted in the Windows domain. Please see Using a Certificate for the HTTPS Protocol.
- A self-signed certificate, which is not recommended for Production. The certificate is not trusted inside the domain. For that reason, you need to export its public key, and then import it on all Robot machines. See Using a Certificate for the HTTPS Protocol for further information.
The name of the certificate you provide when
prompted by the Windows installer, or the one
mentioned in the command line using
-sslCertificate
is the same one
that appears in the Issued To column in
Server Certificates in IIS.
Note: If
the Public Access URL or Load Balancer
URL of your Action Center is different than
the Hostname URL of the Action Center, then
the SAN (Subject Alternative Name) should
include both the Host Name URL, and the
Public Access URL or Load Balancer
URL.
