Configure HTTPS/SSL

You should set up an HTTPS / SSL certificate on all application servers before installing AtHoc.
To create a certificate request, complete the following steps:
  1. Open the 
    Internet Services Manager
    .
  2. Go to the 
    Properties 
    for the web site under consideration.
  3. Click the 
    Directory Security
     tab.
  4. Click the 
    Server Certificate
     button.
  5. Follow the wizard to create a new certificate.
  6. At the end of the process, provide a file name for storing the certificate request.
  7. Send the file to the appropriate certificate authority.
    It is very important that you specify a proper Common Name while requesting the certificate. The Common Name must be the host name that will be used by your users to access the BlackBerry AtHoc system.
For example, if your users will use
https://alerts.company.com
, you must use
alerts.company.com
as the Common Name. Moreover, in a Web Farm configuration, the Common Name must be the name of the virtual Web Farm.
