Any issues installing SSL in a fully operational Orion NPM environment?

Question

I have a support case with Solarwinds and my question is not beening answered.  Has anyone successfully updated their Orion NPM website to SSL?  I am in a fully operational environment and would like to know if this will result in any issues or is this a clean cut update?

We are currently running the following products  in our environment.

(Orion Core 2011.2.0, APM 4.2.0, IPAM 2.0.1, IPSLAMGR 3.5.1, NCM 6.1, NPM 10.2, NTA 3.7, SEUM 1.0.0, IVIM 1.2.0)

Thank you,

Gilda

all I did to get mine to use SSL was to add the Cert and port binding to IIS and then start using https, but Orion's config still uses http.  if I use the built-in ${URLsomething} in an alert, it still uses http, so I have to build the URL in my emails.  I have seen the posts about how to do it "the right way", but I haven't tried it because this way is so simple and it works.  Plus I use "Orion" for the url instead of the server name and setup a second http site that uses the host header "orion" and does an automatic redirect to https.  This way if I ever need to use http, I just have to use the hostname instead of the cname.

(Wow, I can get off topic easily) Basically what I am saying is that it is pretty clean cut and shouldn't be all that scary.
