Ghost Solution Suite support statement for SSL/TLS client machine communication

Products

• Ghost Solution Suite

Issue/Introduction

Does GSS (Ghost Solution Suite) support SSL/TLS communication with the client machines?

Can HTTP(S) be used with client imaging?

Environment

GSS 3.3

Resolution

GSS does not communicate with clients via HTTP, thus it cannot use HTTPS for agent communication.

Ghost itself supports imaging via HTTP(S), but IIS needs to be configured and Ghost should be executed with a specific command line to read/write via http from/to webserver.
There is KB for Deployment solution describing how to configure IIS, but the same configuration can be used for GSS ghost:

KB 154365 "Configure IIS to allow Ghost image capture and deployment via HTTP"
