BlueCielo Meridian Enterprise Server 2016 Administrator's Guide

Configuring HTTPS

By default, the Meridian Enterprise Server websites communicate unsecured using the HTTP protocol. The system can use HTTPS by modifying one setting in the web.config file of the website.

To configure HTTPS:

1. Open the web.config file of the BCEnterprise website (or the iPad website if you created one as described in Creating an iPad website) in any text editor and find the binding named Binding_ES.
2. Set the security mode value of the HTTPS protocol to Transport as shown in the bold text in the following example.
3. Save and close the file.

<binding name="Binding_ES" closeTimeout="00:10:00" openTimeout="00:01:00" receiveTimeout="00:50:00" sendTimeout="00:50:00" messageEncoding="Text" maxReceivedMessageSize="2147483647">
    <!--
    HTTPS: security mode = Transport
    HTTP: security mode = TransportCredentialOnly
    -->
  <security mode="TransportCredentialOnly">
  <transport clientCredentialType="Windows" realm=""/>
  </security>
</binding>

4. To configure the Meridian Enterprise server to also communicate with the Meridian Enterprise Server computer using HTTPS:
   • Modify the protocol that is specified in the Enterprise Server address option of the vault as described in the BlueCielo Meridian Enterprise Administrator's Guide.
