Configuring HTTPS manually on Linux systems

When you have an SSL certificate (a .pem file), place it on the computer running Web Reports and customize the keywords in the besclient.config file if a client is installed together with Web Reports or in the beswebreports.config file if only Web Reports is installed.

To define the port number you want to use:

[Software\BigFix\EnterpriseClient\Settings\Client
 \_WebReports_HTTPServer_PortNumber]
value = 443

To define the full path name of the SSL certificate (cert.pem):

[Software\BigFix\EnterpriseClient\Settings\Client
 \_WebReports_HTTPServer_SSLCertificateFilePath]
value = /tmp/CERT/cert.pem

To enable HTTPS:

[Software\BigFix\EnterpriseClient\Settings\Client
 \_WebReports_HTTPServer_UseSSLFlag]
value = 1

To enable client redirection from an HTTP connection to an HTTPS connection:

[Software\BigFix\EnterpriseClient\Settings\Client
 \_WebReports_HTTPRedirect_Enabled]
value = 1

To define the number of the port listening for the HTTP connection and redirecting the Client to HTTPS:

[Software\BigFix\EnterpriseClient\Settings\Client
 \_WebReports_HTTPRedirect_PortNumber]
value = portnumber
