2.10. If you have selected HTTPS on the step with the protocol type, you need to configure SSL connection. It starts with defining Windows certificate store which is a Windows-native certificate store. For details, refer to Microsoft official website certificate stores description. When configuring Service SSL certificate, choose one of the available options: 

Option 1: Export your SSL certificate from Windows Certificate Store 

When choosing to export SSL certificate from Windows Certificate Store, make sure you have specified a fully qualified HostName and selected a proper store name. You need to select one of reserved certificate store names: 

  • MY
  • Root
  • Trust
  • CA
  • USERDS (Active Directory User Object)

Option 2: Skip now and configure manually in the SSL tag of the AppServerX.xml configuration file

If you choose to configure SSL connection manually in the SSL tag parameters of AppServerX.xml file. There are two ways available: using Windows certificate store or specifying a path to an SSL certificate file (*.pfx file).

Option 3: Apply an SSL Certificate that is used by your Web or Java Application Server

Please note that you must select this option if you plan to use WSC Dialog plugin for CKEditor 4. After you have selected this option, FastCGI module is configured and the certificate information is obtained from the Web Server.

If you choose to apply an SSL Certificate that is used by your Web or Java application server, your connection configuration takes place using FastCGI protocol. Thus, you enable scenario B of WebSpellChecker Architecture diagram when FastCGI proxies service requests before AppServer. 

If for some reason the installer fails to connect the selected certificate from your Windows Certificate Store, the following error occurs:

Configure Service SSL Certificate

You can either try to type the certificate common name and select a proper Certificate Store Name or skip this option and provide the information later using the SSL tag values of the AppServerX.xml file.

For more details, refer to Microsoft Certificate Store description and AppServer SSL parameters description.
