4. Configure ETV Resources for SSL
After installing the certificate on the ETV Portal Server, the ETV Portal Server can now be
configured for SSL. This is a two-step process (1) first you configure the Portal Server user
login page for SSL access, and (2) configure the Portal Server Admin pages for secure SSL
access. This means that when a user attempts to access the Portal Server user pages it will
automatically bring them to
https://<ipaddressofserver> for the user pages. Users will
notice a padlock icon at the bottom of their screen while logging into the Portal Server,
however the padlock will disappear once they login. When an administrator attempts to
access the Administration pages it will also force them to use
https://<ipaddressofserver>/
admin
. The padlock icon will be visible at the throughout the entire Admin site.
