Configure workstations in TLS environment

In TLS environment, Desktop applications initiate a handshake process with the server. The TLS server then responds with its server certificate. The Desktop Applications must trust the Certificate Authority in order to trust the TLS server certificate. For this purpose, the certificate of the Certificate Authority must be included in the list of Trusted Root Certification Authorities stored on the workstations running desktop applications.

You are required to provide the TLS certificates during initial installation, and as part of on going maintenance (such as certificate expiration or replacement).

Before you begin 

Verify you have loaded certificates to the each workstation's certificate store as directed in Install Root CA certificates on workstations

Procedure 

  1. Set browsers to support HTTPS in Modern mode (optional).

    When the enterprise HTTPS Protocol and Cipher configuration is set to Modern, enable TLS 1.2 in your browser and workstation settings as well.

  2. Update the desktop applications configuration settings.

    By default the desktop applications are configured as non-HTTPS, in order to use HTTPS, it is required to update the Desktop Applications configuration settings.
