Introduction
To safeguard your data, we strongly recommend that all users configure HTTPS on your Kepion server. HTTPS, unlike HTTP, comes with encryption and verification, protecting data transferred over networks. This article explains how to configure HTTPS on your Kepion service through Internet Information Services (IIS) Manager.
Note: You will see warning messages at the top of your Kepion site and on your sign-in page if you have not configured HTTPS on your Kepion server.
Before you start
You must have imported a valid SSL certificate. Learn more.
