Enable event server encryption

You can encrypt the two-way connection between the event server and the components that communicate with the event server, including the LPR Server.

When you configure encryption for a server group, it must either be enabled with a certificate belonging to the same CA certificate or, if the encryption is disabled, then it must be disabled on all computers in the server group.

  • A server authentication certificate is trusted on the computer that hosts the event server

First, enable encryption on the event server.

  1. On a computer with an event server installed, open the Server Configurator from:

    • The Windows Start menu

  2. In the Server Configurator, under Event server and add-ons, turn on Encryption.

  3. Click Select certificate to open a list with unique subject names of certificates that have a private key and that are installed on the local computer in the Windows Certificate Store.
