Use IIS HTTPS protocol

There is always a provision to use secure HTTPS protocol with AVEVA Production Management web applications communication.

These things are required to use HTTPS protocol:

• SSL certificate

• Creation of an IIS binding with this certificate

• URL Rewrite installed on computer

The application installer has an IIS binding configuration step that gives you the option to choose between HTTP and HTTPS communication protocols.

If you select the HTTPS option along with the certificate name, the following is implemented:

• A new binding for HTTPS communication over default secure port 443 is created using the selected certificate.

• The URL Rewrite option to switch the traffic from HTTP to HTTPS is enabled.

The binding and URLRewrite can be solely managed in Internet Information Services (IIS) Manager.

Switching between HTTP and HTTPS communication can be solely managed by IIS, irrespective of the Production Management installation steps.
