How to enable HTTPS connection in Pro Cloud Server?

Prerequisites

1. Download and install the 32-bit/64-bit OpenSSL utility according to the Pro Cloud application server in the default location where the PCS is installed. Click here to download the file. 
2. .pfx file of an SSL certificate with its password. You can get this from your IT team. 
3. Open the desired port for PCS in the firewall. If you are planning to configure PCS on HTTPS port 1805, you can also open it. 

Configuration

1. Log in to the server as an administrator where Pro Cloud Server is installed. 

2. Copy and paste the .pfx file in the bin folder of Open SSL (typically located at C:\OpenSSL-Win64\bin\) 

3. Open the Command Prompt as an administrator and type the command below according to the installation in the machine  

For 64-bit Machine: CD C:\Program Files\OpenSSL-Win64\bin\ (location of bin file in OpenSSL installed location) 
For 32-bit Machine: CD C:\Program Files (x86)\OpenSSL-Win32\bin\ (location of bin file in OpenSSL installed location)

4. If OpenSSL is installed in a different location: Replace the path in the command with the correct directory of the bin folder where OpenSSL is installed.  

For example: if OpenSSL is installed in a custom directory like D:\Programs\OpenSSL\, the command would be: CD D:\Programs\OpenSSL\bin\ 

5. Type openssl pkcs12 -in [certificate].pfx -out server.pem -nodes in the Command Prompt 
   [certificate] refers to the name of your .pfx file. For example, if the .pfx file name is prolaborate.pfx, the command will be 

Openssl pkcs12 -in prolaborate.pfx -out server.pem -nodes  

6. Enter the password of the .pfx file when prompted and click Enter.  

7. Close the command prompt window 

8. server.pem file would have been generated in the same folder 

9. Copy the server.pem file and paste it in the Pro Cloud Server Service folder (typically located at C:\Program Files\Sparx Systems\Pro Cloud Server\Service\) 

10. Open SSProCloud.config file in the same folder with edit privileges  

11. Update the second occurrence of SERVER_PORT from 805 to 443 (Standard port number of HTTPS connection) and REQUIRE_SSL to 1 

12. Save and Close the SSProCloud.config file 

13. Restart the Sparx Systems Professional Cloud service from the Task manager

Verification

To do a quick check whether the setup was successful, enter the IP address or domain name of the server along with the port (For example, https://[PCS domain name]:[Port]) and check if you are seeing the following result.
