To access SQL Inventory Manager over HTTPS with a self signed certificate you may need to enable SSL on SQL Inventory Manager 2.6 REST service, and add a certificate.
Using a self-signed certificate only works with both IDERA Dashboard and SQL Inventory Manager installed on a local machine. |
Before binding a certificate to Inventory Manager 2.6, you need to first add a certificate for IDERA Dashboard. For information on how to create a self signed certificate for Dashboard refer to Resolving+the+certificate+error+message.
Make sure you perform the instructions in Resolving+the+certificate+error+message |
To bind a certificate follow the instructions below:
Run the following command in CMD as Administrator:
openssl pkcs12 -export -out <output_certificate_name>.pfx -inkey <key_name>.key -in <certificte_name>.cer |
You need the private key generated in the previous step and the CER certificate created in Resolving+the+certificate+error+message.
Remove any existing bindings from Inventory Manager 2.6 REST service SSL port 9276, run the following command in CMD as Administrator:
netsh http delete ssl 0.0.0.0:9276 |
Add a new binding for Inventory Manager 2.6 running the following command in CMD as Adminstrator:
netsh http add sslcert ipport=0.0.0.0:9276 certhash=<certificate hash> appid=<random GUID> clientcertnegotiation=enable |
To add a certificate to the Trusted Root Certification Authorities store in Windows, refer to Manage Trusted Root Certificates.
