Please provide the detailed steps for below

  1. How to configure the certificate for openHistorian Web Manager to perform https?

Thanks Ritchie.

Can we run both http and https at the time from single openHistorian instance?
Is it possible?

Please clarify.

I believe, IIS supports such the configuration.

Thanks & Regards

Not on the same port, even IIS has to open HTTPS on port 443 and HTTP on port 80.

That’s the tricky part. Now if you set up openHistorian to listen on port 443 and setup a simple responder on port 80 to redirect to 443 then it would work like listening on HTTP and then redirecting to HTTPS.

What goal are you trying to accomplish exactly?

Thanks Ritchie,

I agree, we can not have same port for both http and https.

What I’m trying to achieve?
Some users already accessing through http and they have configured in their firewall based on that port.

For new user, who wants to access through secure mode, we need to provide https access.

Also, I have one more query.
Is openHistorian support password complexities for database users not for AD user?

Thanks & Regards

Hi Ritchie,

I’m able to run openHistorian portal in secure mode (https). Also Grafana is working fine.

Please clarify below:

  1. Is openHistorian support password complexities for database users not for AD user?
  2. Do we need to do any special configuration for Grafana for running on secure mode?
    Thanks & Regards
