Check the
Use HTTP and/or Use HTTPS boxes if you would like to enable these protocols for
the Web Site, Web Services, and Device Handler nodes. You can also change the port
numbers for the Web Site, Web Services, and Device Handlers nodes.
As of versions 3.9, BSNEE requires an X.509 certificate and HTTPS binding for the Web
Services node. The X.509 certificate is required by the WS-* (WS-Security) specifications for
message-level encryption in WCF services, as well as transport-level encryption for
compliance with the WS-I Basic Profile 1.1. Please install a valid certificate and select it for the
Web Services node.
Note: For testing purposes, you may use a self-signed certificate issued for the Web Services
binding.
Note: Changing the HTTP port or adding HTTPS binding for the Device Handlers node will
require devices to be set up again to use HTTPS. Also, devices will not work with self-signed
certificates if these options are selected.
If you plan on using HTTPS, you should use the Microsoft Management Console (MMC) to
ensure that you have appropriate permissions for the private key of the certificate. By default,
read access is required for the “IIS_IUSRS” group (for more information, see
Pre-Installation
> Persistent Root and Temporary Storage Folders in the BSNEE Installation Guide).
