SSL Setup for EPWeb as Service
|
|
||
| 1. | SSL security ensures that the information transmitted back and forth between the web browser and EPWeb is secure and encrypted so that no one else can view the information. This is important when you are gathering private information. |
| 2. | If you would like to use SSL with EPWeb, you will need to acquire three files for your certificate. You will need CERT.PEM, KEY.PEM, and ROOT.PEM files. These files will need to be placed in the Bin folder in the main folder to which you installed EPWeb. |
| 3. | To create the three files used by EPWeb, an IntraWeb Server, you can request these files from your certificate provider or use a tool called SSL Buddy available from the Arcana Technologies web site (http://www.arcanatech.com/). The SSL Buddy Application will guide you through creating a certificate from a certificate authority and preparing that certificate for EPWeb. EPWeb uses a certificate for Indy/Intraweb Server. |
| 4. | After you have SSL ready to go, you will need to change the server configuration file so that EPWeb knows to use it. Changing the server configuration file is detailed later in the Server Configuration section of this document. |
