Question:
How to configure the Web Components to use HTTPS?


Answer:

General

DocuWare

  • Change the URL in the Web Connection section Internal address and HTTP-Root directory
  • If HTTP is not possible in general, change the "LocalWebServices" address in the file "C:\ProgramData\DocuWare\ServerConfig\dwmachine.config"

KBA is applicable to On-premise Organizations ONLY.

  • FYI, make sure Windows Authentication is enabled for the DocuWare website.
  • Is there a procedure for configuring SSL for on-prem deployments? Presently we are running 7.2 all over port 80. When the update to 7.7. runs it indicates SSL must be used. That's fine, but there is no process I can find for doing so. The above instructions are simplistic at best and incomplete at worst. I have emulated the upgrade process in a virtual environment and even after following the above the end result is still a broken system. The clients are all pointing at http so either they must all be uninstalled prior to the update and reinstalled once the update is complete, or there may be a way of redirecting all http to https which I have found some bits here and there about that. Ultimately that process also led to a non-working system. Dave, I remember you spending weeks in our office when you were with Westbrook. Nice to see you still kicking around. Any tips appreciated.
