Summary

This article documents how to configure a client computer to use SSL/TLS when connecting to the Laserfiche Server.

More Information

Modify the registry to enable creating an SSL connection.

Note: You must use the following registry setting. Laserfiche 8.1 does not currently support setting this value through a trustee attribute.

To configure SSL or TLS using the registry

1. Verify that the Laserfiche Server prerequisites are in place and the client certificate has been correctly configured.
2. On the Client computer, log in as the user you want to configure, and open the registry editor.
3. Navigate to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Laserfiche\Client8\Profile\IPDatabase.
4. From the Edit menu, point to New and select String.
5. Give the value the same name as your repository name, and set its value to the fully-qualified domain name of your Server computer. (For example: MachineName.Domain.com.)
6. Navigate to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Laserfiche\Client8\Profile\RepositoryNameSettings, where RepositoryName is the name of your repository.
7. From the Edit menu, point to New and select String.
8. Name the value "UseSSL" and set its value to "yes".
9. Close the registry editor. You will need to repeat for each user you want to configure.
