Laserfiche Notification Service Https

Forms

Updated February 26, 2018

asked on April 12, 2016

Is it possible to configure the Laserfiche notification service to be https and to use a specific certificate? We are running into issues where modern browsers are blocking http content if the main site is in https.

If we ignore it, we do not get our task counts and there is an error on every page with multiple browsers.

You can configure notification service to use https with following steps:

Step 1: Find the certificate hash for the certificate that is used in Forms website. You can get it from IIS manager, as shown in this picture.

Step 2: Run the following commands, fill the certificate hash, fill #appid with a random GUID, and replace “LOCAL SERVICE” with your own local service account name.

netsh http add sslcert ipport=0.0.0.0:8181 certhash=#certhash appid={#appid}
netsh http add urlacl url=https://*:8181/ user="LOCAL SERVICE" listen=yes

After you run the command, you should get success response as shown in this picture.

Step 3: manually update the config files, change the hub host address to https, and replace the HUBSERVER with your server name.

hub config file C:\Program Files (x86)\Laserfiche\Laserfiche Notification\Hub\Laserfiche.PushNotificationService.Hub.Host.exe.config
- update the value like <add key="HubHostAddress" value="https://*:8181" />
master config file C:\Program Files (x86)\Laserfiche\Laserfiche Notification\Service\Laserfiche.PushNotificationService.Master.Host.exe.config
- update the value like <add key="HubAddress" value="https://#HUBSERVER:8181" />

Step 4: restart both hub and master services.

Hello,

If we modify the LF config files in Step 3, what happens after a Forms upgrade? Will we have to do Step 3 again? Or it skips a customized file in an upgrade? Or no issues at all?

Thanks

Sorry for the late response, the config files for Notification Service will be kept when upgrade(supported since Forms 10.2.1).

If a new certificate is added and the Default Web Site binding is updated to reference new certificate, do we simply rerun the same steps for LF Notification and the only thing we have to do is just replace old cert hash with new cert hash? Does anything have to be undone? And I can't see how it could affect Web Client, but please confirm (Forms and Web Client are both virtual directories here).
