Case:

This article provides you the information you need to enable SSL communication in IMiS/OCR Server 9.x between Console application and Windows service.

Description:

IMiS/OCR Server consists of Windows service and Console application that communicate over HTTP(S) protocol using REST/JSON API.

HTTP is default way of communication. To enable HTTPS communication administrator needs to:

1. provide or generate a self signed certificate using OpenSSL 1.0.2 (LTS) series

To generate a self-signed certificate:

i. run Command Prompt in Administrative mode

ii. go to folder where IMiS/OCR Server is installed:

cd C:\Program Files (x86)\IS\IMiS

iii. set OpenSSL configuration file:

set OPENSSL_CONF=C:\Program Files (x86)\IS\IMiS\openssl.cfg

iv. generate self-signed certificate:

openssl req -x509 -nodes -days 365 -sha256 -newkey rsa:2048 -keyout ocrserver_svc.pem -out ocrserver_svc.pem

When you enter this command you will be asked to enter information that will be incorporated into your certificate request like country, state, city, organization, common name and email address.

2. name certificate file ocrserver_svc.pem and place it next to ocrserver_svc.exe



3. connect Console application to Windows service over HTTP



4. enable SSL in Preferences dialog and set SSL port



5. reconnect Console application to Windows service over HTTPS
