In order to simplify and streamline applying HTTPS/SSL to DX NetOps Network Flow Analysis and Application Delivery Analysis, the DX NetOps Support team wrote the ApplyHTTPS tool. The tool features multiple options to help get DX NetOps NFA or Application Delivery Analysis secured. You can download the ApplyHTTPS.zip file from this document. Please review the options below and see the additional notes for troubleshooting.
Latest Version: ApplyHTTPS 22.2.6 (February 24, 2023)
Network Flow Analysis 9.3.3 - 22.2.x
Application Delivery Analysis 11.0 to 11.1
To minimize the time it takes to manually set up SSL for IIS, Jetty SSO, Jetty RIB, OData, and SOAP Internal Services. (OData for 21.2.4+ / SOAP for 22.2.4+)
ApplyHTTPS.exe must be ran AS AN ADMINISTRATOR.
Using the tool:
1. Option 1: Apply HTTPS. This option was written to help users apply HTTPS to a server which has never seen an HTTPS setup before as well as an NFA server which has just been upgraded and had it's HTTPS settings overwritten.
What does the tool actually do after you select your option to apply HTTPS?
Above is an example of choosing a self-signed single certificate from the Windows Personal Store. I will break down what each step does into more detail.
Other options of the tool:
Option 2: Simply set NFA to use the default HTTP configurations for IIS, Jetty SSO, OData, and Jetty RIB servers.
Above is an example of choosing option 2 "HTTP Mode". I will break down what each step does into more detail.
Option 3: Import certs for LDAPS only.
This option can be used for importing new certificates into the Java CACERTS truststore. This can be used if you are updating a Certificate Authority certificate for LDAPS. This could also be helpful if you are trying to renew a Certificate Authority certificate with Java CACERTS for Jetty SSO or Jetty RIB.
