How to Set Up HTTPS During Installation

  1. Run the ABBYY-Timeline-6.1.*-installer.exe file and follow the on-screen instructions in the Installation Wizard. For more information see Installing Timeline.
  2. Enable SSL between the remote PostgreSQL instance and application in the 'Database connection' step.
    If your remote PostgreSQL is configured with SSL support:
    1. Choose Use SSL for the database connection.
    2. Provide a path to your database SSL certificate.
      If your PostgreSQL is configured with SSL support and a CA root certificate file is used, choose Use CA Root certificate file and provide the full path to your root certificates for each remote database.
  3. Enable SSL between application and client in the Timeline Base URL and Ports Configuration step:
    1. Specify TCP/IP port for the Timeline website. For example, 443.
    2. Choose Use HTTPS.
    3. Provide paths to server.cert, server.key, and the password (if presented) files.
  4. Setup a network connection for Timeline. For more information see Network Connection Settings.
    1. In Windows Firewall, open the rules for inbound Timeline connections.
    2. Add a TCP/IP port specified during the installation process to the exception list. For example, 443 port.
  5. Check whether HTTPS is functioning properly
    Open a browser on any computer and enter {TimelineUrl}:{port} in the address bar, where:
      • {TimelineUrl} is the Base URL you specified during the Timeline installation or the public IP address or the full name of the computer where Timeline is installed.
      • {port} is the custom port assigned to the Timeline website during the installation process. If you are using the default port (80 or 443), you do not need to add them to the {timelineURL}. By default, TCP/IP port 80 or 443 is used.

Example: https://mytimeline:30443
