Configuring Incoming Tunnel Connections

By default, CommCell components accept both secure (HTTPS) and unsecure (HTTP) tunnel connection requests.

You can configure client computers and client computer groups to receive only secure connections. This forces all incoming tunnel connections to use HTTPS by authenticating and setting up HTTPS encryption.

Before You Begin

• Review the supported network route types described in Configuring Network Routes, and then configure the CommCell components as appropriate for your installation.

• If appropriate, configure a one-way direct connection to initiate a tunnel connection to enforce HTTPS transport. Based on the direction in which the connection is initiated, select the appropriate method to configure the network routes from Direct Connections.

Procedure

1. From the CommCell Browser, expand Client Computers, right-click the client and then click Properties.

   The Client Computer Properties dialog box appears.

2. Click Network.

   The Network Properties dialog box appears.

3. On the Network Route Configuration tab, select the Configure Network Route Settings check box and then click Advanced. Click OK to acknowledge the warning and continue.

4. On the Options tab, select the Force SSL authentication in incoming tunnel connections check box and then click OK.

5. Click OK to save your changes.
