In preparing to enable security with SSL, note the following:
„
Kofax Front-Office Server ships with a default self-signed SSL certificate, with the file
avalin.keystore which specifies “avalin” as the host name for the installation.
„
The avalin.keystore file is located in the \conf folder.
„
You can replace the file avalin.keystore, using the same file name to ensure a smooth
implementation and to avoid having to edit other server and/or network properties.
„
If replacing the file avalin.keystore using the same file name, note the following:
„
Keystore password = avalin
„
Host name = The full name for the server where Kofax Front-Office Server is installed.
For example: www.mycompany.com or Server01.
„
Key password = avalin
„
Kofax Front-Office Server by default uses port 8443 for the secured transmittal of
encrypted data.
„
The URL for accessing the Administration Console or the Web Client requires https instead
of http.
