Use HTTPS for User Interface to Server Communication

By default CA Executive Insight uses HTTP for all communications. CA Executive Insight can be configured to use HTTPS between CA Executive Insight user interfaces and the CA Executive Insight server.

Note: HTTP will always be used for CA Executive Insight server to data source communication.

This procedure describes how to configure SSL on CA Executive Insight version 1.1 with a self-signed Certificate and a certificate from a trusted SSL certificate provider.

The first step(s) should be to setup and verify that the Self Signed certificate functions. Once the self-signed certificate is configured and Tomcat is running on the SSL ports specified, you can follow the instructions provided by the Certificate Authority to put the official Certificate in place.
