The Communication Menu

In the Communication menu of the Deployment Assistant, you can configure the communication between the Congree Authoring Server and its clients. HTTP is selected by default.

Info:

Background information on the communication modes can be found here: The Congree Standard and HTTPS

Overview of the Communication menu

Back button: Wechseln Sie zum Deployment Assistant-Startmenü
Client and Server buttons: Switch to the menu for configuring server components or to the menu for configuring client components.
Configuration name: Name your communication configuration. If no name is entered, your configuration is called Default by default.
Description: Optionally describe your communication configuration.
Location: The IP address or host name of your configuration host is displayed here.
Client-server communication configuration area: Determine how the client and server communicate with each other. If you do not make a selection, HTTP is set as the default.
Area to configure communication with Identity Server: Determine how the client and Identity Server communicate with each other. If you do not make a selection, HTTP is set as the default.
Selection: Enable HSTS as the security mechanism for HTTPS communication. If HTTP is selected as the communication mode, the selection is grayed out.
Public server name: Specify the hostname under which the server can be reached from the Congree clients (if different from the actual hostname).
Save button: Save your communication configuration.

Important:

Communication over HTTPS requires that a Trusted Certificate is present (for client-server communication) or SSL is correctly configured (for communication with the Identity Server).

Important:

The SSL certificate which is required for communication via HTTPS, must not be placed on a reverse proxy, as this will lead to incorrect program behavior.
