We're testing the functionality of Client Administration (formerly known as Web Client). During installation, there is an option box to "Show Advanced Settings." When this box is checked, another box appears that turns on "Enable Https Listener" along with a default port of 8444 being specified.

I can find no documentation on this, besides the brief description that is provided: "Whether the server support for HTTPS (secure HTTP) is enabled.
"

Does this in fact allow a client to connect to Client Administration via HTTPS? I've been unable to connect to the server using https protocol on the specified port. We can get it to work with regular http on the default port 8081 though.

Thanks for any replies.

The advanced settings during the install is something which will be removed for production release; we may introduce it latter or alternatively provide FAQ entries detailing how to enable it for those compoenent which would support it.

The one you have chosen should definitely not have it as the PROIV client cannot download a piv via https.

I see. I certainly hope that https will be something that is included in the future for downloading piv configurations and CAB files for client connections. It is a security issue that our customers will no doubt be concerned with.

Thanks for your response,
