Configure the Work Tasks Farm and Enterprise Console site settings

When the Farm Configuration Wizard opens after the Work Tasks installation has completed, advance through the wizard to configure the farm database and Enterprise Console site settings. For detailed information about running the Farm Configuration Wizard, see the Work Tasks Administrator Guide.

One item to note are the settings on the wizard Security Settings page that are required to support MES model‑driven application content:

• Select the Secure Web Sites option.

• [Optional] Select the Secure Communications option to establish secured connections between the AVEVA Work Tasks services.

• The port number should be the same port number used by Work Tasks Central Configuration. The default is 8001 for desktop computers and 8000 for mobile devices.

• Select the SSL certificate that was configured for the System Management Server in the post-install Configurator. (This configuration is performed as part of the MES or System Platform configuration.) You can find this certificate in the Advanced Configuration dialog of the System Management Server component, as shown below.
