Case:

This article contains instructions for running IMiS/wScan and IMiS/wScan Samples version 1.6.2010 over HTTPS.

Description:

To configure IMiS/wScan and Samples to use HTTPS do the following steps:

First run IMiS/Capture Admin application:
1. Open Settings dialog then go to Security tab
2. Check "Enable secure connection on port:" checkbox and select a port. Default port is set to 5443.
3. Under "Select certificate:" either use "Select from file system" or "Create new self-signed certificate" options to select certificate for HTTPS.

When using a self-signed certificate instead of a certificate signed by a trusted Certificate Authority (CA) for HTTPS connection some browsers may prompt users on initial access with a security warning. For Firefox browser see
