To secure the traffic to your Lansweeper web console, it is recommended to enable SSL and use an SSL certificate from a trusted Certificate Authority. If you installed Lansweeper on IIS Server, the web console will be installed by default under HTTP.
You can customize your SSL setup however, by choosing a custom HTTPS port and setting up a custom certificate.
Prerequisites
Your own certificate should be installed on your server that hosts the Lansweeper web service and should be available under Server Certificates in IIS.
Double-click the IIS Manager home page. Make sure your own certificate is listed under Server Certificates.
The default certificate shipped with the Lansweeper installation is an example and should not be used in production environments.
Add a certificate binding
- Select Lansweeper Web Site in IIS.
- Select Bindings on the right.
- In the dialogue that opens, select Add and select https for the type.
- Enter the port you want to use for this binding on the right.
- Select the SSL certificate to be used.
- Select Ok to save the binding.
- Your binding should be saved now. You can close the Site Bindings dialogue, and your Lansweeper web console should be available now via HTTPS.
