Enabling SSL on the IIS Server

In order to continue to advance and improve security, we will be implementing a security change for all AMS360 in-house media upgrades. This change will take affect starting with the release of AMS360 19R1, which is targeted for release in Q4 2019. Action is required by you before you will be able to install this and all future in-house upgrades.

Beginning with the release of AMS360 19R1, all in-house customers will need to enable https for the application to function correctly. We are focused on continually helping our customers improve their security by using the latest security protocols. Enabling https prevents potential security threats such as cross-site scripting.

Before starting this process you’ll need to generate a self-signed SSL Certificate.
