Setup Worker Node for SSL

Login to the Web Portal as the master administrator, go to the “Cluster Manager” page. If you have the service provider option installed, the default page after cluster admin login will be the “Cluster Manager” page.

If you have the enterprise option, the default page is the web based file manager. You will need to click the Management Console, and then the “Cluster Manager” to go to the “Cluster Manager” page.

Now, check “Always force SSL on Login” and “Always force SSL for Native Clients” boxes.

Note

If you use self-signed SSL certificate, the web portal is the only client that allows you to login after some SSL certificate warning. All other native clients such as Windows, mobile, and Mac clients will reject the connection.

You will also modify the node property for the node.

The Node Name needs to match the hostname of the node.

The external URL shall match the external URL for HTTPS. (If you do not have SSL certificate installed yet, this can be HTTP for now).

The internal URL will be the internal IP address or private DNS name.
