8 steps to get https/ssl working on wc8/wc9

I think in the past I submitted 6 steps for wc https/ssl. I left off steps 3 & 4. I put the steps together form memory, when I placed into text file.

Sorry for skipping steps

(from windchill shell)

With JAVA_HOME set (no -Djdk option settin/arg needed):

1) ant -f config.xml configureSelfSignedCert -DServerName=hostname.xxx.com "-Djre.dir=C:\Program Files\Java\jre1.5.0_09" "-DcertAlias=R9_Apache"

With JAVA_HOME NOT set:

1) ant -f config.xml configureSelfSignedCert -DServerName=hostname.xxx.com "-Djre.dir=C:\Program Files\Java\jre1.5.0_09" "-Djdk.dir=C:\jdk1.5.0_09" "-DcertAlias=R9_Apache"

(your server name & jre/jdk paths will be different).

Maybe even use $(java.rmi.server.hostname) for -DServerName option, because if they dont match, the ssl wont work.

(from windchill shell)

2) xconfmanager -s wt.webserver.protocol=https -t codebase/wt.properties -p

(from windchill shell)

3) xconfmanager -s wt.webserver.port=443 -t codebase/wt.properties -p

(from windchill shell)

4) xconfmanager -s wt.server.codebase=$(webserver.protocol)://$(java.rmi.server.hostname)/$(wt.webapp.name) -t codebase/wt.properties -p

(or hard code $(webserver.protocol) as https, from its original http)

xconfmanager -d xx.xx.propperties to display above original settings before &/or verify what it was changed to after.

5) Duplicate wc9 home page (D:\ptc\Windchill_9 .0\Windchill\bin\HomePage.html) & rename.
   Then edit 3 instances of http to https, along with changing port 80 to ssl 443.
   http://xxx.xx.com:80/Windchill now becomes https://xxx.xx.com:443/Windchill

6) Duplicate & rename shorcut "Windchill Home Page" page in Windchill Programs folder &
   have it point to newly created page from step 3 above.

7) Duplicate shortcut to apache & rename. Then change httpd.exe to httpd.exe -DSSL for execution exe path
   apache.exe -DSSL or apache.exe -D SSL for windchill 8.

8) When 1st time starting "Windchill Home Page - HTTPS" (or whatever you name it), you will be prompted
   To accept certificate. Don't say Yes or OK (from what I recall the buttons saying), select far right button
   To place certificate in the "Trusted Root Certification Authorities store." Images included in zip.

PS Attached zip to show images for adding cert to trusted store.
