2. Configure APM for SSL
   
   
   1. Login to APM and navigate to Administration - system configuration
      
      
   2. Click on Web Server and change the protocol to 'https' and SAVE.

   3. Repeat the step above, changing protocol to 'https' for the following additional sections:
      Application server and WCF Service
      
      
   4. Reset IIS

Test by launching the application with https://ServerName/ITAM

Note that 'ServerName' in the URL should match the certificate server name. Typically, you will use the actual server name for the certificate and not 'localhost'.
