Incoming HTTPS

In most cases, communication between client devices and the FlexNet Embedded local license server need not be secure. However, in deployments where Internet security is required, the local license server can be configured to support exchanges with the client devices over a secure HTTPS connection.

Best practice is to offload this HTTPS protocol work to a separate device that specializes in this type of processing. However, if this practice is not feasible or desirable, perform these steps to enable the license server to support incoming HTTPS connections.
