Product(s): Enterprise Vault (14.1, 14.0, 12.5, 12.4, 12.3)

Applying the certificate

Note:

When you have completed the procedure "To apply the certificate" in this section, you have installed the SSL certificate and fulfilled the SSL certificate requirements for use of the Enterprise Vault Office Mail App. The steps in the next section, Securing Enterprise Vault web-based communication, are required only if you want to secure all Enterprise Vault web-based communication from now on.

To apply the certificate

  1. Open IIS Manager. In the Connections pane, select the Enterprise Vault server and then open the Server Certificates feature.
  2. Click Complete Certificate Request.

    If the certificate was supplied as a .pfx file rather than a .cer file, first click Import and follow the wizard.

  3. Select the certificate (.cer) file and click OK.
  4. In the Server Certificates list, check that the certificate has been added.
  5. This step assumes that the Default Web Site is in use for Enterprise Vault.

    In the Connections pane, right-click Default Web Site and click Edit Bindings. Select https port 443 and click Edit. If https is not in the Type list, click Add and add https from the Add Site Binding dialog.

  6. In the Edit Site Binding dialog, select the SSL certificate from the menu and add it to the required IP address and port.

    If the certificate is the only certificate in IIS on this Enterprise Vault server, you can leave the IP address unassigned.

    Note:

    If multiple websites are hosted on the Enterprise Vault server, further planning of IP addresses and port numbers is required. This planning is beyond the scope of this document.

  7. Click OK on the Edit Site Binding dialog and Close on the Site Bindings dialog, and close IIS Manager.
