Configuring a secure browser connection

Secure communication with the browser is controlled through the Web Service.

Prerequisites: You are using the Web UI.

To configure a secure connection through a browser, access the Web Service by clicking Controller Setup > Miscellaneous > Web Service.
The Web Service properties tab opens.
Set Http Enabled to false, Https Enabled to true, and Https Only to true.
If you are upgrading your installation, you may have pointers to old Http ports. When Https Only is set to true, the system automatically redirects any Http connections to secure connections (Https). This saves having to manually change each occurrence of an Http port in legacy installations.
Change Https Cert to identify the root CA-signed server certificate you created for this platform/station, and click Save.
When you enable Https in the Web Service, the system automatically enables Foxs in the Fox Service.
If you did not import the company’s root certificate into the browser’s trust store, go back to the Secure Communication chapter and set it up.

Any communication using the browser is secure.
