Convert Insight to SSL Post Installation
Issue
How can Insight be converted to use SSL in a post-installation environment?
Solution
Refer to the Insight Installation Guide for details - Change Insight Configuration After Installation.
Refer to the following screenshot as a general guide.
1. Provide the host name as created on your SSL certificate.
2. If using Windows authentication for databases, set the application pool identity to use a valid Windows account that has proper access to the databases. Refer to the Insight Installation Guide for more information.
3. Check the Use remote Insight Data Service option regardless if installing Insight on a single or multi-node configuration, provide the host name as created on your SSL certificate here as well. This configures internal Insight proxy communications to use the FQDN instead of localhost.
Verify TCP ports in the UI before proceeding and click Next when done.
