Add server certificate binding

You need two pieces of information to bind the certificate to your URL.

• The certificate's thumbprint. Your Certificate Authority should have given you the thumbprint. It's 40 hexadecimal characters (20 bytes).

• The app-id globally unique identifier (GUID) for AVEVA Real-Time System (RTS). You can use the following GUID as the RTS app-id, although any unique GUID is sufficient: {0da309b6-db62-4e71-866e-3042d79124c4}.

Bind the certificate to your URL

1. Once you have the certificate's thumbprint and the app-id GUID, on the RTS web server, open a Command Prompt window with administrator privileges by doing the following:

   1. On the Windows Start menu or taskbar, search for command.

      The Command Prompt app appears in the search results.

   2. Right-click the Command Prompt app, and then select Run as administrator.

2. Enter the following command, where <thumbprint> is the certificate's thumbprint:

   netsh http add sslcert ipport=0.0.0.0:443 certhash=<thumbprint> appid="{0da309b6-db62-4e71-866e-3042d79124c4}"

   This step assumes that you are using the default port number (443) for RTS.

3. Start RTS.

   If you are running RTS as a process (not as a service) for testing, make sure that you start it from a Command Prompt window with administrator privileges. See Examples for the rts start command for more information.

4. Open the WebUI log text file in the logs\RtsWebUI folder, and then verify that you see the "Now listening on" message to ensure the URL is open for connection.

5. On a web browser, navigate to the URL of the computer by using HTTPS (for example, https://computername/) to ensure that you can connect to the computer.
