To set up SSL redirect, enable SSL on the preferred application
server, set your bootstrap preferences, update the base URL, and sign
out.
Procedure
To set up SSL redirect on a single Application Engine server:
- Enable SSL on the application server that runs Application Engine (see your SSL documentation).
- Sign in to Workplace:
- On any computer, open a browser and type the following
URL address:
http://Application_Engine_server_name:port#/Workplace
- Sign in as a user with Application Engine Administrator
access role privileges. For more information, see Access roles preferences.
- Set bootstrap preferences:
- Navigate to .
- Set the Security info Site Preference SSL Host:Port
to identify the alias host name and port number.
Use
the IP address of the Application Engine server
for the SSL Host entry.
- Click Apply to save your bootstrap
settings.
- Update the base URL:
- Navigate to .
- Enter the Workplace Base
URL value in the provided field. The URL must contain a valid host
name, and not contain "localhost" or an IP number. For example, http://myserver:7001/Workplace
For
more information, see Refresh preferences.
- Click Refresh to update the
base URL.
- Click Exit to close Site Preferences.
- Sign out of Workplace,
and close your browser.
- Test the SSL connection by signing in to Workplace using the following
URL:

port/Workplace
You will be redirected to the SSL-enabled
port for sign in, then back to the non-SSL enabled port after sign-in
is complete. Before sign-in, you should receive a warning that you
are accessing pages over a secure connection (unless you turned this
dialog box off), and then Workplace will
open.
