Configure the Export Service for Secure Network Communication

The Export Service exports data from CA APM and saves the results in formats such as a comma-separated value (CSV) file. To accomplish this task, the Export Service interacts with the Storage Manager Service so that you can specify where the exported files are stored. After you install the product, the Export Service is configured for non-secure network communication (http). To configure the Export Service for secure network communication (https), complete the following steps.

To configure the Export Service for secure network communication

1. Log in to the server on which the Export Service is installed.
2. Navigate to the following folder:

   C:\Program Files\CA\ITAM\Export Service
   

3. Open the CA.ExportService.exe.config file with a text editor.
4. Locate the following statement:

   <add key="SMWebServiceProtocol" value="http" />
   

5. Modify the following statement to change http to https.

   <add key="SMWebServiceProtocol" value="https" />
   

6. Search for the string SMWebServicePort in the file and update the value to the SSL-port.
7. Save the changes to the CA.ExportService.exe.config file and close the file.

   The Export Service uses secure network communication.
