Chapter 3: Preparing for your server installation
3. Note the thumbprint of the certificate. You use the thumbprint to bind the certificate to the port used by the
primary NMS services in the next step.
For information on retrieving the thumbprint, see https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms734695.aspx.
4. Bind the SSL port (443) used by the services to the certificate.
Windows Server 2008 or 2012:
a. Using the netsh utility, run the following command to bind port 443 to the certificate :
netsh http add sslcert ipport=0.0.0.0:443 certhash=<thumbprint> appid=
{00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000}
5. Verify that the UseSSL setting is set to true (this should have been done by the installer):
a. In Nuance.NMS.Server.exe.config, located in the NMS Platform installation folder, find the line
near the top that contains the key="UseSSL" tag.
b. Change the value to true:
<add key="UseSSL" value="true"/>
6. Restart the Local Authenticator server to allow the configuration changes to take effect.
SSL Mode 2: SSL certificate installed on load balancing switch
Nuance uses this mode in the Nuance data center when the NMC server is behind a load balancing switch that also
decrypts SSL. In this scenario, the load balancing switch would strip the SSL encryption and forward the messages on
