swf5002@psu.edu Jan 11, 2016 8:57 AM (in response to HolyGuacamole)In addition to HolyGuacamole's comment, I'd just want to add that you can definitely do SSL with the site. See Enabling SSL/HTTPS for Orion Web site and SolarWinds Knowledge Base :: Enabling SSL (https) for Orion Web Console. In terms of user management, you can configure Active Directory integrated access to the site.

I had a case running on this to just confirm everything before i configure SSL for my URL. What the support engineer told me is that, i just need to select the right certificate and edit the bindings. He also informed that the KB of updating the DB is not required any more for latest versions.
Has anyone come across this?

goodzhere Jan 12, 2016 11:33 AM (in response to pratikmehta003)This is correct. Everything that you stated above can easily be done and you will not need to update the DB as was stated. The certificates will need to be installed and the bindings will need to be set as well as deleting the port 80 binding (after you confirm SSL is working). Or you can configure the redirect.

Re: Web Console access from Internet
goodzhere Jan 12, 2016 11:53 AM (in response to pratikmehta003)Yes. They will! The change is only in IIS and not actually the SolarWinds application. The only changes that would possibly be needed would be if you created custom links to predefined http address. You would then have to change it to https. If you use the local help files, you would have to change that setting to https too.

Re: Web Console access from Internet
swf5002@psu.edu Jan 12, 2016 1:55 PM (in response to pratikmehta003)If you don't include a SAN (EDIT: SAN in the certificate) for the netbios name and you're in an intranet situation (as opposed to browsing always by FQDN), it breaks some alerting link variables in alerts - the acknowledge alert link will have to be rebuilt; I had to modify the link to node URL variable as well. It can be fixed. For example:
New Method
<a href=https://<FQDN>/link/Orion/Netperfmon/AckAlert.aspx?AlertDefID=${N=Alerting;M=AlertID}>Link to acknowledge alert</a>
Old Method (that does not work any longer, just for reference)
AlertDefID=${N=Alerting;M=AlertID}>Link to acknowledge alert</a>
