Configure IIS

Both PAS and InSite must be available via HTTPS. In the IIS (Internet Information Service) you make the website available for https. You can add a binding of the https type to the website, once per web server and, if applicable, for the application server with the PAS. This is, for example, Default Web Site, but in your case it could also be a different IIS Site.

You must first generate an SSL certificate; if you already have one, you can immediately activate IIS.

Activate IIS 7.0 / 7.5 (Windows Server 2008)

Before you install Profit, you must ensure that the settings for the Internet Information Services are correct.

To configure IIS 7.0 / 7.5 (once only per web server):

1. Go to: IIS Manager by selecting Start /Run.
2. Enter the command inetmgr.
3. Right-click on the web site called Default Website.
4. Click on:Edit Bindings.
5. Click on:Add.
6. Add a binding of the https type:

   

7. Select an SSL certificate. Contact the system administrator if you cannot link a certificate.

   This is the certificate for the domain. You enter this domain name when adding the domain in Profit.

   Note:

   If you do not have a certificate or want to configure a test setup, you can also link a Self-signed Certificate. The use of this type of certificate is not safe! We strongly recommend that you do not use a Self-Signed Certificate in a production environment. If you still want to do that, you can generate a Self-signed Certificate using IIS.

8. Click on: OK.

Generate a Self Signed Certificate

You can generate a Self-signed Certificate in IIS 7. The steps also apply with regard to IIS 7.5 and IIS 8.

To generate a Self Signed Certificate:

1. Start 'Internet Information Services'.
2. Select the server.
3. Double-click Server Certificates.

   

4. Click on: 'Create Self-Signed Certificate'.

   

5. Enter the description.
6. Click on: OK.

To link a certificate to a site:

1. Select 'Default web site' (unless you use a different site, then select that site).
2. Click on: 'Bindings'.

   

3. Click on: 'Add'.
4. Select 'https'.
5. Select the certificate you added previously.

   

6. Click on: OK.
