How to configure SSL in the Lansweeper web console?

[ErikT]

When Lansweeper is installed, it will automatically install a self-signed SSL certificate for when users want to use HTTPS initially. You can find this pre-installed Lansweeper certificate under Program Files (x86)\Lansweeper\IISexpress\Certificate and it is only there to serve as an example.

To enable SSL in Lansweeper with your own certificate, you can follow these instructions:
Configuring SSL in IIS Express
Configuring SSL in IIS

Should you still face issues after following the above-mentioned KB articles, do the following:

• Open the Start menu on your Lansweeper server, select Run and run MMC as administrator.
• The Microsoft Management Console will open.
• In the File menu, select Add/Remove Snap-in.
• Select Certificates and hit Add.
• Select Computer Account in the resulting popup.
• Select Local Computer.
• Hit Finish and then Ok.
• Select Add/Remove Snap-in again in the File menu.
• Select Certificates and hit Add.
• Select My User Account in the resulting popup.
• Hit Finish and then Ok.
• Browse to Console Root\Certificates... Ensure your certificate is present in all of the following stores:

• Current User > ... > Personal
• Current User > ... > Trusted Root Certification Authorities
• Local Computer > ... > Personal
• Local Computer > ... > Trusted Root Certification Authorities

• If your certificate is missing from any of these, please add it:

• In the console tree, click the logical store where you want to import the certificate.
• Right-click the Certificates folder and select All Tasks\Import.
• Select your .pfx certificate file, submit your password and continue until the import is completed.

• Restart the IIS Express service on your Lansweeper server.

Hello there!

Some certificates e.g. GoDaddy certificates, are not compatible with IIS Express. As such, we would recommend using IIS Server instead.

• To migrate your existing console running under IIS Express (the default web server), to IIS, please reinstall just the web console by following these instructions: https://www.lansweeper.com/knowledgebase/how-to-reinstall-your-lansweeper-website/
  • When you get to step 10, choose the Advanced (IIS) option.
  • Do note that IIS must be enabled on the machine to be able to get this option.

If you haven't yet, enable and install Internet Information Services on your Lansweeper server via Add/Remove Programs. Specifically, the full Web Management Tools and World Wide Web Services feature list.
