You configure the Web Server from the Roles view of System task in Security Center Config Tool.
Web Server - Properties tab
- Unlimited session time
- Enable or disable the duration of a user session. Set Unlimited session time to ON so that users remain logged on to Web Client as long as they keep their browser window open. Set Unlimited session time to OFF so that users are automatically signed out of Web Client after 12 hours of inactivity.
- Web address
- Define the suffix of the URL that users enter on their browser to connect to Security Center
Web
Client. The format of the Web
Client URL is
https://host:port/web address, where host is the IP address
or host name of the server that hosts the Web Server role, port
is HTTP port 80 (default) or HTTPS port 443 (default), and web
address is
SecurityCenter
(default). The URL of each Web Client must be unique. - Vault location
- When you download video, the files are packaged and temporarily stored in the Web Client vault. These temporary files are deleted when the download is complete. The default location is ProgramData\Security Center\WebClientExports.
- Use the default web ports of the server
- By default, the Web Client communicates over HTTPS port 443 and HTTP port 80. These ports are defined on the server that hosts the Web Server role. If your IT policy requires different ports, or there is some sort of conflict, you can change the ports used by Web Client. To change the default ports, set this option to OFF, then change the HTTP port and secure HTTP port.
- Communication settings
- View the URL and the SSL certificate in use.
- Click the URL to open Security Center Web Client in your default web browser.
- Click View to see detailed information about the certificate and to install the certificate.
The SSL certificate provides a secure HTTP connection to Web Client. You can continue using the self-signed SSL certificate that is installed with the Web Server role, or install a signed certificate from a Certificate Authority such as VeriSign. In both cases, communications are encrypted and secure. However, Web Client users are notified by their Internet browser that the self-signed certificate is not valid until the certificate is installed on each computer that runs a Web Client session.
