Please make sure before that the ASP.NET Core 5.0 Runtime Windows Hosting Bundle has been installed.

Configuration of Ports

The WebCenter comprises two services, the steadyPRINT WebCenter and steadyPRINT AD Service.

In case the default port is desired to be adjusted, this must be done manually via the respective configuration file appsettings.json.

 

Adjustment of port for steadyPRINT AD Service

Open the configuration file [Install]\install.AdService\appsettings.json. Subsequently, the adjustment is done via the property ServerDefaultOptions.HttpsPort of the HTTPS ports.

 

In the next step the adjustment of the ports in the configuration file [Install]\install.WebCenter\appsettings.json has to be repeated. For this purpose, the HTTPS port has to be assigned with the value entered before. In any case, make sure that both HTTPS ports are  the same. Otherwise, the steadyPRINT WebCenter and steadyPRINT AD Services will not be able to communicate.

 

Adjustment of ports for steadyPRINT WebCenter

Open the configuration file [Install]\install.WebCenter\appsettings.json. Subsequently, the adjustment of the ports (for http(s)) is done via both properties Kestrel.Endpoints.Http.Url and Kestrel.Endpoints.Https.Url.

 

Restart the service steadyPRINT AD Service after adjusting the ports.

 

Configuration of Certificate for WebCenter

Open the configuration file [Install]\install.WebCenter\appsettings.json. Subsequently, the adjustment of the DNS name which is to be accessed via the WebCenter is done via the adjustment of the property Certificates.Default.Subject.

Make sure that a valid and suitable certificate has been stored to the certificate store of the local computer (local machine certificate store), so that the DNS name correspond to the applicant of the certificate (subject).

 

Restart the service steadyPRINT WebCenter after adjusting the ports.
