Configuring FlexNet Agent 5.13 for Secure Sockets Layer
Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) enables Web servers and Web clients to communicate over a secured connection using the HTTPS protocol where both the server and the client encrypt data before sending it. If you choose not to have a full-featured Web server handle HTTPS requests for FlexNet Manager for Engineering Applications, FlexNet Manager for Engineering Applications itself can act as an SSL server to Web browsers or Web service client applications. FlexNet Manager for Engineering Applications can also act as an SSL client to a remote server, such as an LDAP server. HTTPS is always enabled in FlexNet Manager for Engineering Applications, but the secure server keystore and the secure client truststore may need to be configured.
