Change Control Room configuration to HTTPS from HTTP mode

If your Control Room is configured for HTTP mode, you can change the configuration to HTTPs mode. You must use a self-signed certificate either before or after performing a custom Control Room configuration.

Prerequisites

Transportation Layer Security is configured as part of the Control Room installation. If that step was skipped or the certificate expires, configure the TLS certificate with this post-installation configuration.

Important: It is not recommended to use self-signed certificates. However, if you use a self-signed certificate, ensure you install the certificate on each device manually and accept the certificate to enable communication between the device and the Control Room after configuring the self-signed certificate.

Procedure

Log in to the Control Room.
The Control Room instance launches in your default browser.
Change the Control Room URL setting and port to HTTPS and port number to 443.
The Website Security Warning page is displayed.
Select the Force HTTP Traffic to HTTPS check box.
Continue to the Control Room website to access the Control Room.

Next steps
