Configure SSL for the Business Connect Client

SSL configuration requires the following:

  • When Web Server is deployed behind the corporate firewall:
    • The address of the router/proxy server must be used in generating the SSL certificate.
    • Port forwarding must be set up on the router/external server to point to the internal Mobile Server port. For example: https://office.yourcompany.com:35016 forwards to https://10.16.35.106:443
  • The generated SSL certificate must be issued for the specific URL/address of the external server/proxy. Examples:
    • office.yourcompany.com
    • *.yourcompany.com
  • The SSL certificate must be issued by a trusted certificate authority. Examples:
    • Computer Associates
    • GoDaddy
    • Symantec (formerly VeriSign)
