Does anyone have any guidance on switching from a non-ssl implementation to using SSL on the blackpearl server?

 

As part of the upgrade process from 4.6.5 to 4.6.7, I am reading the environment for SharePoint 2013 and potential hybrid needs in the future. We've been running K2 without SSL internally, but will be switching to an all SSL SP2013/K2 environment.

 

Thanks,

Doug

For the most part this would be a IIS configuration of adding the SSL cert to the Web Server in IIS for the K2 site (e.g. K2.denallix.com) and then changing the binding of that site to 443 and pointing to the certificate.

 

You would then need to change the URLs in teh K2 Workspace URLS and string table enviornment library for everything that points to K2 to then be https.  e.g https://k2.denallix.com

 

Give that a shot.

Hi dgilmour,


 


Here is a link showing all the necessary steps to follow to get K2 to ssl.


 


http://help.k2.com/helppages/k2blackpearlDevRef4.6.4/Configure_SSL.html


 


Also make a backup of the "web.config" first before editing, just to be safe.


 


Hope this helps.

So I generated a certificate (internal dev one) and changed the name of the K2 workspace site. I then used the new name in the installer for 4.6.7 and all things worked out from a workspace perspective.

 

I'm having a little difficulty with the web services, but I'll dig into the details of the help file a little more before posting another question.
