Configuring Bindings and SSL

The installation wizard sets up a binding on port 80 for the SmartSync Server. Manual installation requires that you use the procedures below to ensure that a binding for HTTP has been created for the site. If users will be connecting to SmartSync Server over an HTTPS connection, this procedure can be used to provide an SSL certificate to bind at the site level on IIS.

Note: If limiting SmartSync Server access to users connecting from within the internal network and externally using VPN, adding SSL may not be desired as SSL adds another encryption layer, requiring additional bandwidth.

Importing/Creating a Certificate

The certificate must be available before beginning the procedure.

Procedure

1. Open Administrative Tools | IIS Manager.

2. In the Connections pane, click computer name.
3. Double-click on Server Certificates icon in the center pane.
4. On the Actions pane, click Import to import an existing certificate or click to create a new certificate of the specified type.

Creating a New Binding

1. On the Connections pane, select Default Web Sites.
2. On the Actions pane, click Bindings to assign the certificate to the server.
3. Click Add to create an HTTPS connection. For manual installations, first add the HTTP binding.
4. In the Add Site Binding dialog, select the Type as https and the SSL certificate as the imported or created certificate from step 4 in the Importing/Creating a Certificate procedure above.
5. Click OK.
6. Click Close.
7. Restart the IIS service.

Results

The IIS web server bindings for SmartSync Server have been configured.
