2 Restart the viewLinc service.
To set up SSL Security:
viewLinc is installed with a default Security Key. The default Security
Key is for testing and initial validation only, it is not to be used on a live
system. Before using viewLinc, the default Security Key must be replaced
with either a self-signed key, or a key signed by a Certificate Authority
(CA).
The examples here use the Open source tool, OpenSSL, to generate
Security Key files. It must be downloaded and installed if it is not already
available. Check with your IT department first:
http://www.slproweb.com/products/Win32OpenSSL.html.
1 Locate the Certificate and Security Key files in the following folders:
• <datadirectory>\config\keys\viewlinc.key
• <datadirectory>\config\keys\viewlinc.crt
Note: These files should be left as they are (they may be replaced
during upgrades). Do not replace them with similarly named
files.
The names of the files that viewLinc will load at startup are found in
the viewlinc.cfg configuration file:
<datadirectory>\config\viewlinc.cfg
[web]
privatekeyfile = viewlinc.key
certificatefile = viewlinc.crt
When you have created your own files, the entries in viewlinc.cfg must
be modified.
To create a Security Key and self-signed certificate:
The Security Key names should use the domain name of the server
convention. If the URL to access the server is,
https://viewlinc.bigpharma.com/, then the filenames should be:
• viewlinc.bigpharma.com.key
• viewlinc.bigpharma.com.crt
