How do I configure the Quarantine Management Website so it can be accessed through HTTPS?

This article applies to:

• Trustwave MailMarshal (SEG) Spam Quarantine Management website
• Trustwave ECM/MailMarshal Exchange 7.X Quarantine Management website

Question:

• How do I configure the SQM/QM website so it can be accessed through HTTPS?

Procedure:

To allow HTTPS for these websites, follow the steps below.

• For production sites, to avoid client issues Trustwave recommends you purchase a certificate from a Certificate Authority.
• Depending on the version of Windows/IIS, you may need to use a separate IP address or port for each HTTPS site hosted on a server. Current versions of IIS support binding multiple HTTPS sites using SNI.

For IIS 7.X and above:

1. On the server where the website is installed, access Internet Information Services (IIS) Manager (found in Administrative Tools).
2. On the IIS server home page, open Server Certificates. Install a certificate, or create a self-signed certificate. For assistance see IIS help.
3. Navigate to the virtual website hosting the SQM or QM site. SQM installs to the default website by default. QM installs to a new website by default.
4. On the Actions toolbar, click Bindings. Add a HTTPS binding for the site.
5. If you want to allow only HTTPS: on the site page in IIS, open SSL Settings and check Require SSL.
6. If you have required HTTPS, change the URL used in Digests and other QM emails. For details, see Trustwave Knowledgebase article Q10263.
