A default Content Composer installation uses the HTTP protocol for communication between Content Composer Windows applications and the Content Composer Windows server endpoint.
To configure the WCF communication channel to use HTTPS, follow the instructions in this chapter.
Prerequisites
-
A digital SSL certificate that you can either purchase or create yourself as a self-signed certificate.
The certificate must contain the following subject alternative names:
-
The DNS name localhost.
This is required if the Content Composer server configuration files use localhost in the URLs specified in the <appSettings> element.
-
The DNS name of the Content Composer server.
We recommend creating one SSL certificate that contains the DNS names of all Content Composer servers, if your installation includes multiple Content Composer servers running behind a load balancer.
- The DNS name of the load balancer, if your installation includes multiple Content Composer servers running behind a load balancer.
-
- A fully configured Content Composer installation.
