In order for your portal to be available externally, you must
acquire an SSL Certificate and apply it to the portal website.
Note: SSL certificates may be applied to portals that are for internal use only. If you
have an SSL certificate applied to a portal that is for internal use, leave the
configuration for that portal as internal-only.
-
Follow the directions provided by your Certificate
Authority to install your SSL Certificate. You will find additional instructions
here.
-
On the server where your portal is installed, open
IIS Manager.
-
Expand Sites, and select the HRIM
site.
-
On the menu on the right, select Bindings.
-
Select Edit Bindings, and then
select Add New.
-
Select HTTPS from the Type dropdown.
Note: By selecting HTTPS, the portal will default to
port 443. If another application already occupies port 443, you will
need to enter an alternative port and open your firewall to inbound
requests on that port. When end users access the portal, they will need
to include the alternative port number in the URL. For example, if the
alternative port is 444, users would access: https://[your portal
URL].com:444/.
Note: If Vista occupies port 443, you can install it
on port 444, which frees up port 443 if you would like your employees to
log into the portal without having to enter the port number. Vista
support being installed on port 444.
-
Enter the Host name associated with your SSL certificate.
If you are using a wildcard certificate, you can enter any text in place of
the * portion of the certificate name.
-
Select the SSL certificate from the
dropdown.
-
Select OK.
-
Update the portal setting Portal URL located under
.
Note: If using an alternate port, include the portal
number. For example, https://myportalurl.com:8282. Alternate ports work
with the mobile application too.
