HTTPS Binding

SessionAudit agents connect to the address returned from the DNS Service record and the HTTP protocol contained within that address. The recommended configuration uses TCP 443 as the port number. Therefore, HTTPS 443 binding should be made for SessionAudit server in IIS.

Read DNS Records for steps to create a DNS Service record.

For HTTPS Certificate operations, read HTTPS Certificate article.

1. Open the Internet Information Services screen from the start menu or run the inetmgr command from Start\Run,

2. Select SessionAudit site under Sites and right click on it,

Ex: sa4sc.domain.com, SessionAudit.domain.com etc. This field is not case sensitive on windows systems. After entering the name, click OK.

5. Click Add on the Site Bindings screen. Select https in the Type field, leave port 443 as default. In the Host name field, retype the name just entered for http. Select the "Require Server Name Indication" option. Select the previously created certificate from the SSL certificate list and click OK.

In the SSL certificate field, the certificate produced in the HTTPS Certificate step should be seen. If this certificate is not visible, go back to the HTTPS Certificate step and create the certificate. Then return to this step and complete the https binding step.
