How to configure SSL for PVE website
By default, the PVE website is hosted on the default port 80 as HTTP unencrypted. Use the following steps to configure the PVE website to use your SSL certificate for an encrypted connection.
Note that it is assumed that you already have an SSL certificate ready to be used for the PVE website.
It is also assumed that you already have PVE installed and the PVE website is the default HTTP website.
Log into the server that is hosting the PVE website
Open IIS
Right-click the PVE website and select Edit Bindings
Click Add
Select HTTPS from the Type drop-down
Enter the fully qualified Host name
Select your SSL certificate to be used for the website
Click OK to save your changes
Next, navigate to the following location on the server:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Digitech Systems\PaperVision\ServicesOpen the DocumentSearch folder
There are 2 DocumentSearch.svc files
DocumentSearch.svc and DocumentSearch.svc.Redirect
Depending on your configuration, a decision needs to be made which of the 2 is to be used
DocumentSearch.svc is the default and is used if the PVE website is hosted on the same server that has the PVE application
DocumentSearch.svc.Redirect is used if the PVE website is being hosted on a separate server from the PVE application
If using DocumentSearch.svc.Redirect, rename DocumentSearch.svc to DocumentSearch.svc.Default. Then, rename DocumentSearch.svc.Redirect to DocumentSearch.svc
The next files that need to be renamed are the web.config files as shown in the screenshot below:
Similar to the documentsearch.svc file, it depends on your configuration on which file needs to be used. For this example, we’ll be using the web.config.SSL
Any other web.config that is used will need to be edited
Open the web.config.(Variant to be edited) and perform a search for “http://” (there should only be 1 result). Update the URL to match the Host name that was configured for the website
Rename the web.config to web.config.Default
Rename web.config.SSL (or whichever variant you used for your envirionment) to web.config
Do the same steps, but instead for the FileService folder
After all updates, restart IIS
Open an elevated Command Prompt
enter “resetiis”
You should receive text that IIS has completed restarting
Verify that you can log into the PVE website through HTTPS and successfully perform a search and open a document.
