Issue/Introduction

Tthe package service is installed on the SMP.  It seemed to be running correctly but it was not publishing https codebases. The respective HTTPS codebases settings have been enable as per the following article:

"Package Server is not publishing HTTPS codebases" -- KB  172128

Environment

ITMS 8.x

Cause

When running SMP and Site Server on the same host you can/t override the certificate used on the Site Server. This issue is that you'd have two web servers binding to port 443 using two different certificates. This is why it failed.

Resolution

To correct the issue, turn off the custom communication settings for the Site Server hosted on the same server as the Notification Server. By doing so the Site server can leverage the same certificate used to communicate to the Notification server over HTTPS.
