Issue/Introduction

This document describes how to add HTTPS to your NetVoyant Master console.



Environment

Windows Server 2008 R2

Resolution

1. Obtain a Certificate (Self-Signed or Signed) and install it.

a. Navigate to the Default Website in IIS.

b. Under Actions, select 'Bindings'

c. Click Add in the Site Binding.

e. Do not disable the http port 80 binding as NetVoyant will not work properly without http.

3. Edit the .xml file to use HTTPS:

a. Open the file: D:\NetQoS\SingleSignOn\Configuration\NetVoyant.xml in a file editor.

b. Edit the file to reflect the bolded changes:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<Configuration>
  <SingleSignOnEnabled>True</SingleSignOnEnabled>
  <SingleSignOnProductCode>nv</SingleSignOnProductCode>
  <SignInPageProductTitle><![CDATA[NetQoS<sup><font class="Superscript">®</font></sup> NetVoyant<sup><font class="Superscript">®</font></sup>]]></SignInPageProductTitle>
  <SignInPageProductDescription>Device Performance Management</SignInPageProductDescription>

    <Scheme>https</Scheme>
    <Port>443</Port>
    <PathAndQuery>/nv/default.aspx</PathAndQuery>
  </SignInPageProductDefaultUrl>
  <SingleSignOnWebServiceUrl>
    <Scheme>http</Scheme>
    <Port></Port>
    <PathAndQuery>/PollerWebService/SingleSignOnWS.asmx</PathAndQuery>
  </SingleSignOnWebServiceUrl>
</Configuration>

c. Save the file.

4. Edit the Single Sign-On details
