Communication Security Expander – Web Server Communication
The Web Server Communication group in the Communication Security expander allows you to configure secure web communication between Server project and IIS (typically remote web server) that takes place over the CCom port. The communication is secured using host certificate.
For securing the communication between Server and the local web server, you can set the web server communication as Local which indicates that the communication is without certificates.
You can configure the web server communication during project creation and modification on Server, Client/FEP installations.
NOTE:
With Version 5.0, the Unsecured communication type is replaced with Local. It is recommended to configure the communication of all remote web applications to Secured as Unsecured communication will not work.

Item | Description |
Communication | Allows you to secure the communication between the Server and web server (IIS) by configuring the CCom port and the host certificate. The web server (IIS) may be installed on the same computer as the Server (as a local web server) or it may be installed on a separate computer (acting as a remote web server). |
CCom port | (Available only on Server SMC) Default port number is 8000 and the support range is 1 through 65535. The CCom port is used by the CCom manager of a project to communicate with web server (IIS), which is required for working with the Windows App client. |
Host certificate | This field is enabled only when you select secured from the Web communication drop-down list. By default, it displays the host certificate that you have set as default. However, you can browse and select another host or self-signed certificate using the Select Certificate dialog box. |
