Originally posted by:Hans is a joke as a Demo too. Made 20 C4 go boom on his♥♥♥♥♥ I'd have better results poking his eye with a cold French Fries from Mc Donald's. Not to mention a full RPG in the face that barely scrached him. I supposed other bosses will be more vulnerable to explosives, because as a Demo vs. Hans you kinda feel useless This was the same deal with Patriarch.it's to prevent stacking of pipe bombs in one area throughout waves to intentionally blow up bosses with +XX bombs. From Killing Floor Wiki. Activate again to see HUD. Mopup Kills all specimens currently on map. (Grenade Launchers and Pipe Bomb) imrich Gives you $10,000. Pipe Bomb - Killing Floor: The pipe bomb is a powerful explosive device. With proper use pipe bombs can easily destroy large numbers of specimens before they are. Pairs of two used to be the most optimal in terms of not getting damage reduction per bomb. Are you talking coop here or solo? Solo is quite easy, 4 pipe bombs as a level 6 demo and stay out of sight. Coop is a little more difficult, space them out so he takes maximum damage from each pipe and 'always' stay off the pipes and this includes every member of your team. One rocket and you can lose the lot. A little tactic I use is when playing as a medic, I'll ask the team to stay where they are then I'll go and find the Patty and bring him to the team. I also forgot to add, no welding at all anywhere near the pipe bombs as if he fires a rocket to break the door you'll lose the pipes. Solo is easy, use 4 pipe bombs, more if you're not a level 6 depending on the difficulty then put them together and stay out of his line of sight, you can use the M32 as backup just make sure you don't get caught near a corner or take splash damage from your grenades. Hide around a corner or behind a door (unwelded) and let him take full damage from the pipe bombs, finish him off with the M32 (if needed). If you check my profile you can see in one of my videos he only needs 4 pipe bombs as a level 6 demo in solo HoE but you must stay out of sight, if he spots you he'll either fire a rocket or cloak and run at you, if he does either you could lose all the pipes to a rocket or he'll only take a certain amount of damage as he's moving too fast over the pipes while running. Practice on The Testmap (see the workshop) to see for yourself:). ![]() To add to this, if you play with other people (you should, really, KF only shines in multiplayer), tell them to hide. A lot of people don't understand that the Patriarch should walk over the pipebombs before he sees any of you, for the reasons Ren listed. As soon as the pipes go off and he does the down on one knee animation, stop hiding and attack. If he gets away to heal, replace the destroyed pipebombs while killing the trash zeds that spawn (your teammates should be doing this if you're a demo, ideally) so that they don't waste any pipes. ![]() Hide again and repeat. The key is location. Last trader and Pat spawn. A test map will not help you learn any of that. If the Pat is blowing them up by shooting at them, then you are standing too close to them, the ideal way is for him to walk slowly over them, so you need to hide, not wait till you see him and hide. But hide as he is spawning and stay hidden, don't look for him he will find you, unless he gets stuck, that's always a bummer in that situation. Ideal situations, last trader near a corridor you can mine both ends with pipes and hide, most maps have at least one trader like that. Or a deep enough pocket or room with a smaller opening you can mine. This is a little more dangerous since the Pat may charge in. Places like containers in Frightyard work great for that. ![]() Other places like the hole in the bottom floor of offices, great spot to solo the pat if you get that trader, but the rubble decoration in front of the hole sometimes lets the pipes fall into it and the pat walks over them without setting them off. All these variations you need to learn on each map at each trader. You may come close to 100% success rate, but some traders are just bad if they are the last ones. The idea is an insta kill, IF money is an issue do without the nade launcher or grenades and spend on pipes. The only time you won't insta kill him is if he is running over them or he has 6 man team health and HOE or something, solo you should vaporize him on any difficulty, so focus on pipe mine fields first.

I installed it a long time ago, but this problem has been popping up only in the last few months. ![]() Whenever I start my computer or whenever I try to open Powerpoint, Word or Excel (haven't tried it with Access yet.) I get a pop up that says it is trying to open MS Office. This takes a couple of minutes, but eventually I get a final pop up that says it cannot find PRORET.MSI and I should put in the install disk and browse for the file. The problem is I am a serviceman stationed overseas and if I even have the install disk, it is in storage with everthing else I have in the US. I can still use MS Office. After I click cancel on the final pop up, the program I wanted comes up. However, it comes up empty even if I clicked on a particular document. I then have to search for the document I want from the program I want to use it in. I hope I'm making sense here. ![]() May 27, 2003. Windows XP requires “Activation”: You must contact Microsoft with a few weeks after installation, or Windows XP will refuse to continue to work. You will have in your Start-Menu the entry to “Activate Windows”, and there will also be an icon in your taskbar, reminding you often to activate. Activation is NOT. I have Version 2002 OfficeXP Service Pack 1 disc; OfficeXP Professioal (2002) disc; Publisher (2002 disc; OfficeXP Step by Step Interactive Training (2002) disc. Microsoft Office XP Professional with FrontPage. The system says it has to wait to activate, but I have 49 more chances and in the meantime, I can use word. ![]() Basically, if I click on a Word document, I have to endure a bunch of pop ups, click cancel, then Word will come up but not the document. Then I re-locate the document using the Word software. I suppose I can live with this, but I shouldn't have to so I'm hoping someone can help me. I actually found a version of this file on the internet and saved it on my computer. The next time the pop up came up, I browsed on my own hard drive and found the file. It didn't accept that and the problem still exists. Thanks, Don •. Have you trieed renaming the file 'proret.msi' and seeing if it accepts that. -- I'm not sure what you mean. The name of the file I downloaded was 'proret.msi.' Have you tried to download and reinstall from MSFT, may need the key -- First thing I tried. They don't offer it. Can someone stateside get you the product key for owner ship proof -- I really don't have any relatives near where my stuff is in storage and I'm not sure where among the storage it would be, if I still even have it. It would be asking a lot of whoever I tasked to dig through my stuff. In any case I don't think the product key would do me any good because I don't even have the install disk to begin with. I did ask around some of my friends if they had an install disk. Like myself, none of them brought that with them. I suppose I could ask our commo section, but I don't think we are using Office XP at work and even if we were, it would be putting them in an awkward position if I asked to borrow government software for personal reasons. Especially since I outrank them. I guess I am just in a pickle. HitSquad, Thanks for trying to help. I tried what you said and it just didn't work. After installing the same pop ups occurred. The last one was that the service pack failed to update. One bit of good news. After downloading the Startup Controller from Mike Lin's web page I unchecked the box that had MS Office starting up every time I started the computer. I haven't really solved the problem because if I want to use MS Office I still have to go through the whole pop up sequence, but at least I don't have to deal with it each time I start the computer.

The main objective of this post is to configure SharePoint 2010 environment to support InfoPath form services and also how to use InfoPath 2010 client software to design and publish the document to a particular SharePoint Forms List, so that it can used online for data collection. Configuring InfoPath services on SharePoint 2010 Things to check in the SharePoint environment, Check whether the forms service is enabled in the SharePoint top level site. To do this, we need to navigate to the Site Settings -> Site Collection Features (under section Site Collection Administration) by clicking on the Site Actions action menu bar of SharePoint site. Once the page is loaded, we need to check whether the feature named 'SharePoint Server Enterprise Site Collection features' is activated on the site collection, in the listed features find the feature 'Sharepoint Server Enterprise Site Collection features' and make sure the Forms Services feature is activated. (If the feature is not activated then Click on the Activate button to activate the feature) If the feature is activated then the row will be like below, Creating a Forms Library in the SharePoint website (this acts as the container for the InfoPath forms) The next action is to create a forms library in the SharePoint website where we need to host the InfoPath based library. For doing this, we need to do the following steps, Check whether the feature named 'Team Collaboration Lists' is enabled in the website. ![]() ![]() This feature enables the commonly used List templates so that we can create new list based on those templates. This includes the lists like Announcements, Forms Library etc. Note: InfoPath Forms Services 2013 is the last release of InfoPath Forms Services. Microsoft PowerApps is the recommended solution for creating and delivering custom forms for SharePoint Online lists. Create new forms with PowerApps from the command bar or the Customize button on SharePoint Online list forms. Support for InfoPath Forms Services will match the support lifecycle for SharePoint Server 2016. The main objective of this guide is to configure SharePoint 2010 environment so that it could support InfoPath form services and also how to use InfoPath 2010 client. If you're running SharePoint Foundation 2010, I am afraid that InfoPath Forms Services is not available. InfoPath Forms Services is exclusive to SharePoint Server 2010. If you do work with SharePoint Server 2010, please configure this service followed the instructions in this reference. In this article Overview This article discusses settings that apply only to user form templates, which are form templates that are not deployed by a developer through sandboxed solutions. User form templates don’t require Full Trust, and they don’t contain code or other business logic. Form designers can publish user form templates to a list or a form library in a SharePoint Online site collection. Because user form templates can be deployed by many users, a server can potentially host thousands of user form templates. ![]() In large numbers, even form templates that contain no business logic can put a heavy load on the server. Configure browser-enabled user form templates When form templates are published to a server that is running InfoPath Forms Services, the designer of the form template can choose to make the form template browser-enabled. This allows a user to fill out the form in a web browser. As an Administrator, you can configure the following template settings for browser-enabled user form templates: • Enable or disable publishing of browser-enabled form templates. If you disable publishing, form designers can publish only form templates that are not browser-enabled. In this case, all browser-compatible features are disabled in the form template. ![]() • Enable or disable rendering of browser-enabled form templates. If you disable rendering, users cannot use a web browser to fill out the form and must use Microsoft InfoPath Filler 2013 to open the form. By default, browser-enabled user form templates can be published and rendered. To configure browser-enabled user form templates • Verify that the user account that is performing this procedure is a member of the Site Collection Administrators SharePoint group. • On the SharePoint admin center page, click InfoPath. • In the User Browser-enabled Form Templates section, specify how you want user form templates to be processed by InfoPath Forms Services by completing the following steps. Note: If this option is not selected, users can still publish browser-compatible form templates to form libraries, but these form templates cannot be filled out in a web browser. Configure exempt user agents To make indexing InfoPath forms faster and easier, you can specify which user agents to exempt from receiving an entire webpage to index. This means that when a user agent you’ve specified as exempt encounters an InfoPath form, the form will be returned as an XML file (which looks like a hierarchical text file) instead of an entire webpage. You can use the procedure below to select this option and populate the agent list. • Verify that the user account that is performing this procedure is a member of the Site Collection Administrators SharePoint group. • On the SharePoint admin center page, click InfoPath. • In the Exempt User Agents section, select the Customize the list of exempt user agents check box, and then do one of the following: • To add a user agent to the exempt list, type a name in the Name box, and then click Add. • To remove a user agent from the list, select the name, and then click Remove. ![]() Mar 24, 2015 Volume licensing; For. Volume KMS license activation fails. X64 through the University and followed the standard instructions to activate with the. Sep 14, 2015 Windows 10 Volume Activation Tips. Going to cover some tips around preparing your organization for activating Windows 10 computers using volume activation. ![]() Applies to • Windows 10 • Windows 8.1 • Windows 8 • Windows 7 • Windows Server 2012 R2 • Windows Server 2012 • Windows Server 2008 R2 Looking for retail activation? • After you have configured Key Management Service (KMS) or Active Directory-based activation on your network, activating a client running Windows 10 is easy. If the computer has been configured with a Generic Volume License Key (GVLK), neither IT nor the user need take any action. It just works. Enterprise edition images and installation media should already be configured with the GVLK. When the client computer starts, the Licensing service examines the current licensing condition of the computer. If activation or reactivation is required, the following sequence occurs: • If the computer is a member of a domain, it asks a domain controller for a volume activation object. If Active Directory-based activation is configured, the domain controller returns the object. If the object matches the edition of the software that is installed and the computer has a matching GVLK, the computer is activated (or reactivated), and it will not need to be activated again for 180 days, although the operating system will attempt reactivation at much shorter, regular intervals. • If the computer is not a member of a domain or if the volume activation object is not available, the computer will issue a DNS query to attempt to locate a KMS server. ![]() If a KMS server can be contacted, activation occurs if the KMS has a key that matches the computer’s GVLK. • The computer tries to activate against Microsoft servers if it is configured with a MAK. If the client is not able to activate itself successfully, it will periodically try again. The frequency of the retry attempts depends on the current licensing state and whether the client computer has been successfully activated in the past. For example, if the client computer had been previously activated by Active Directory-based activation, it will periodically try to contact the domain controller at each restart. How Key Management Service works KMS uses a client–server topology. KMS client computers can locate KMS host computers by using DNS or a static configuration. KMS clients contact the KMS host by using RPCs carried over TCP/IP. Key Management Service activation thresholds You can activate physical computers and virtual machines by contacting a KMS host. To qualify for KMS activation, there must be a minimum number of qualifying computers (called the activation threshold). KMS clients will be activated only after this threshold has been met. Each KMS host counts the number of computers that have requested activation until the threshold is met. A KMS host responds to each valid activation request from a KMS client with the count of how many computers have already contacted the KMS host for activation. Client computers that receive a count below the activation threshold are not activated. For example, if the first two computers that contact the KMS host are running Windows 10, the first receives an activation count of 1, and the second receives an activation count of 2. If the next computer is a virtual machine on a computer running Windows 10, it receives an activation count of 3, and so on. None of these computers will be activated, because computers running Windows 10, like other client operating system versions, must receive an activation count of 25 or more. When KMS clients are waiting for the KMS to reach the activation threshold, they will connect to the KMS host every two hours to get the current activation count. They will be activated when the threshold is met. In our example, if the next computer that contacts the KMS host is running Windows Server 2012 R2, it receives an activation count of 4, because activation counts are cumulative. If a computer running Windows Server 2012 R2 receives an activation count that is 5 or more, it is activated. If a computer running Windows 10 receives an activation count of 25 or more, it is activated. Activation count cache To track the activation threshold, the KMS host keeps a record of the KMS clients that request activation. The KMS host gives each KMS client a client ID designation, and the KMS host saves each client ID in a table. By default, each activation request remains in the table for up to 30 days. When a client renews its activation, the cached client ID is removed from the table, a new record is created, and the 30day period begins again. If a KMS client computer does not renew its activation within 30 days, the KMS host removes the corresponding client ID from the table and reduces the activation count by one. However, the KMS host only caches twice the number of client IDs that are required to meet the activation threshold. Therefore, only the 50 most recent client IDs are kept in the table, and a client ID could be removed much sooner than 30 days. The total size of the cache is set by the type of client computer that is attempting to activate. If a KMS host receives activation requests only from servers, the cache will hold only 10 client IDs (twice the required 5). If a client computer running Windows 10 contacts that KMS host, KMS increases the cache size to 50 to accommodate the higher threshold. KMS never reduces the cache size. Key Management Service connectivity KMS activation requires TCP/IP connectivity. By default, KMS hosts and clients use DNS to publish and find the KMS. The default settings can be used, which require little or no administrative action, or KMS hosts and client computers can be manually configured based on network configuration and security requirements. Key Management Service activation renewal KMS activations are valid for 180 days (the activation validity interval). To remain activated, KMS client computers must renew their activation by connecting to the KMS host at least once every 180 days. By default, KMS client computers attempt to renew their activation every 7 days. If KMS activation fails, the client computer retries every two hours. After a client computer’s activation is renewed, the activation validity interval begins again. Publication of the Key Management Service The KMS uses service (SRV) resource records in DNS to store and communicate the locations of KMS hosts. KMS hosts use the DNS dynamic update protocol, if available, to publish the KMS service (SRV) resource records. If dynamic update is not available or the KMS host does not have rights to publish the resource records, the DNS records must be published manually, or you must configure client computers to connect to specific KMS hosts. Client discovery of the Key Management Service By default, KMS client computers query DNS for KMS information. The first time a KMS client computer queries DNS for KMS information, it randomly chooses a KMS host from the list of service (SRV) resource records that DNS returns. The address of a DNS server that contains the service (SRV) resource records can be listed as a suffixed entry on KMS client computers, which allows one DNS server to advertise the service (SRV) resource records for KMS, and KMS client computers with other primary DNS servers to find it. Priority and weight parameters can be added to the DnsDomainPublishList registry value for KMS. Establishing KMS host priority groupings and weighting within each group allows you to specify which KMS host the client computers should try first and balances traffic among multiple KMS hosts. Only Windows 10, Windows 8.1, Windows 8, Windows 7, Windows Server 2012 R2, Windows Server 2012, and Windows Server 2008 R2 provide these priority and weight parameters. If the KMS host that a client computer selects does not respond, the KMS client computer removes that KMS host from its list of service (SRV) resource records and randomly selects another KMS host from the list. When a KMS host responds, the KMS client computer caches the name of the KMS host and uses it for subsequent activation and renewal attempts. If the cached KMS host does not respond on a subsequent renewal, the KMS client computer discovers a new KMS host by querying DNS for KMS service (SRV) resource records. By default, client computers connect to the KMS host for activation by using anonymous RPCs through TCP port 1688. (You can change the default port.) After establishing a TCP session with the KMS host, the client computer sends a single request packet. The KMS host responds with the activation count. If the count meets or exceeds the activation threshold for that operating system, the client computer is activated and the session is closed. The KMS client computer uses this same process for renewal requests. 250 bytes are used for communication each way. Domain Name System server configuration The default KMS automatic publishing feature requires the service (SRV) resource record and support for DNS dynamic update protocol. KMS client computer default behavior and the KMS service (SRV) resource record publishing are supported on a DNS server that is running Microsoft software or any other DNS server that supports service (SRV) resource records (per Internet Engineering Task Force [IETF] Request for Comments [RFC] 2782) and dynamic updates (per IETF RFC 2136). For example, Berkeley Internet Domain Name versions 8.x and 9.x support service (SRV) resource records and dynamic update. The KMS host must be configured so that it has the credentials needed to create and update the following resource records on the DNS servers: service (SRV), IPv4 host (A), and IPv6 host (AAAA), or the records need to be created manually. The recommended solution for giving the KMS host the needed credentials is to create a security group in AD DS, then add all KMS hosts to that group. On a DNS server that is running Microsoft software, ensure that this security group is given full control over the _VLMCS._TCP record in each DNS domain that will contain the KMS service (SRV) resource records. Activating the first Key Management Service host KMS hosts on the network need to install a KMS key, and then be activated with Microsoft. Installation of a KMS key enables the KMS on the KMS host. After installing the KMS key, complete the activation of the KMS host by telephone or online. Beyond this initial activation, a KMS host does not communicate any information to Microsoft. KMS keys are only installed on KMS hosts, never on individual KMS client computers. Activating subsequent Key Management Service hosts Each KMS key can be installed on up to six KMS hosts. These hosts can be physical computers or virtual machines. After activating a KMS host, the same host can be reactivated up to nine times with the same key. If the organization needs more than six KMS hosts, you can request additional activations for your organization’s KMS key by calling a Microsoft Volume to request an exception. How Multiple Activation Key works A MAK is used for one-time activation with Microsoft’s hosted activation services. Each MAK has a predetermined number of allowed activations. This number is based on volume licensing agreements, and it might not match the organization’s exact license count. Each activation that uses a MAK with the Microsoft hosted activation service counts toward the activation limit. You can activate computers by using a MAK in two ways: • MAK independent activation. Each computer independently connects and is activated with Microsoft over the Internet or by telephone. MAK independent activation is best suited to computers within an organization that do not maintain a connection to the corporate network. MAK independent activation is shown in Figure 16. MAK independent activation • MAK proxy activation. MAK proxy activation enables a centralized activation request on behalf of multiple computers with one connection to Microsoft. You configure MAK proxy activation by using the VAMT. MAK proxy activation is appropriate for environments in which security concerns restrict direct access to the Internet or the corporate network. It is also suited for development and test labs that lack this connectivity. MAK proxy activation with the VAMT is shown in Figure 17. MAK proxy activation with the VAMT A MAK is recommended for computers that rarely or never connect to the corporate network and for environments in which the number of computers that require activation does not meet the KMS activation threshold. You can use a MAK for individual computers or with an image that can be duplicated or installed by using Microsoft deployment solutions. You can also use a MAK on a computer that was originally configured to use KMS activation. This is useful for moving a computer off the core network to a disconnected environment. Multiple Activation Key architecture and activation MAK independent activation installs a MAK product key on a client computer. The key instructs that computer to activate itself with Microsoft servers over the Internet. In MAK proxy activation, the VAMT installs a MAK product key on a client computer, obtains the installation ID from the target computer, sends the installation ID to Microsoft on behalf of the client, and obtains a confirmation ID. The tool then activates the client computer by installing the confirmation ID. Activating as a standard user Windows 10, Windows 8.1, Windows 8, Windows 7, Windows Server 2012 R2, Windows Server 2012, and Windows Server 2008 R2 do not require administrator privileges for activation, but this change does not allow standard user accounts to remove computers running Windows 7 or Windows Server 2008 R2 from the activated state. An administrator account is still required for other activation- or license-related tasks, such as “rearm.” See also •. The inetd daemon is a Unix system's Internet 'super daemon.' It listens on TCP ports defined in /etc/services and executes the appropriate program for each port, which is defined in /etc/inetd.conf. The advantage of this scheme is that you can have a large number of daemons ready to answer queries, but they don't all have to be running. Instead, the inetd daemon listens in places of all the others. The penalty is a small overhead cost of creating a new daemon process, and the fact that you need to edit two files rather than one to set things up. This is handy if you have only one or two users or your machine has too many daemons already. It's also easier to perform an upgrade without disturbing an existing connection. If you wish to start from inetd, first open /etc/services in your text editor. ![]() If you don't already have them defined, add the following two lines: netbios-ssn 139/tcp netbios-ns 137/udp Next, edit /etc/inetd.conf. Look for the following two lines and add them if they don't exist. If you already have smbd and nmbd lines in the file, edit them to point at the new smbd and nmbd you've installed. Your brand of Unix may use a slightly different syntax in this file; use the existing entries and the inetd.conf manual page as a guide: netbios-ssn stream tcp nowait root /usr/local/samba/bin/smbd smbd netbios-ns dgram udp wait root /usr/local/samba/bin/nmbd nmbd Finally, kill any smbd or nmbd processes and send the inetd process a hangup (HUP) signal. (The inetd daemon rereads its configuration file on a HUP signal.) To do this, use the ps command to find its process ID, then signal it with the following command: # kill -HUP process_id After that, Samba should be up and running. This tutorial exists for these OS versions • Debian 9 (Stretch) • • • • • On this page • • • • • • • • • • This tutorial explains the installation of a Samba fileserver on Debian 9 (Stretch) and how to configure it to share files over the SMB protocol as well as how to add users. Samba is configured as a standalone server, not as a domain controller. In the resulting setup, every user has his own home directory accessible via the SMB protocol and all users have a shared directory with read-/write access. 1 Preliminary Note I'm using a Debian 9 system here with the hostname debian.example.com and the IP address 192.168.1.100. I'll use this minimal Debian system as basis for this tutorial. SWAT your Samba problems. Use /etc/init.d/inetd restart to activate your edits. Usually smbd (the Samba daemon itself) and nmbd. There are many forms to configure and install samba. Better is to keep it simple, focusing your needs. To a hurry sysadmin, or even poorman, I recommend some basic approach, delaying complexities and security tuning for future iterations. Shortly, it is a Standalone Server for centralized tasks:. I will use the nano editor in this tutorial to edit config files on the shell. Nano can be installed with the command: apt-get install nano If you have a different favorite shell editor like joe or vi, then use that instead. To make the Linux server accessible by name from my Windows workstation, I will add a line to the hosts file on Windows. Run this command as Administrator user on Windows to edit the hosts file: notepad C: Windows System32 drivers etc hosts and add a line like this: 192.168.1.100 debian.example.com debian at the end of the file. Replace the IP address with the server IP and the hostname with the hostname that you have chosen for your server. Rename 'administrator' user, if exists My Debian 9 server has a user named 'administrator', this username may cause problems with Samba, so I rename it to 'howtoforge' here. Feel free to use a different name for your user, the name does not matter as long as it is not 'administrator'. Skip this step when your system has no user with the name 'administrator'. How to restart samba server? Up vote 77 down vote favorite. Sorry this is a little embarassing but I'm trying to set up my own server for the first time. The winbindd daemon will check the smb.conf file for the presence of the idmap uid and idmap gid parameters. If they are are found, winbindd will use the values specified for for UID and GID allocation. If these parameters are not specified, winbindd will start but it will not be able to allocate UIDs or GIDs. When Samba has. ![]() ![]() ![]() In an e-commerce site, you process sensitive information, such as customer credit card numbers. This data must be encrypted and transmitted over a channel that is secured. ![]() For implementing secure data transfer, you use Secure Sockets Layer (SSL). SSL is a scheme for protocols such as HTTP (named HTTPS when secure), File Transfer Protocol (FTP), and Network News Transfer Protocol (NNTP). When you use SSL to transmit data: • The data is encrypted. • An encrypted channel is established between the source and destination servers. • Server authentication is enabled. Note: You only need to request a certificate once, but you need to import that certificate to each of your Web servers. You must also enable the imported certificate for each Web server. ![]() To implement this functionality, you need to acquire a digital certificate and install it on your server or servers. You can apply to one of the certification authorities for a digital certificate. To configure your deployment for secure transactions, you enable HTTPS and Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) certificates in the Commerce Server Manager. To enable SSL on a Commerce Server site. • In Internet Services Manager, use the Web Server Certificate Wizard to install and configure a server certificate on your Web server. For instructions, see. • In Commerce Server Manager, expand Commerce Sites, and then click the site that you want to administer. • Expand Applications, right-click the applications that you want to configure, and then click Properties. • In the Properties dialog box, on the General tab, select Enable HTTPS. • On the Web Servers tab, click Synchronize Values to copy the SSL port property from Internet Information Services (IIS) to the Commerce Server Administration database. The default value for the SSL port is 443. If you have a value other than 443 here, you must type that value in the Secure host name text box on the General tab (for example, www.microsoft.com:441). ![]() Note that certificates may be purchased for multiple years, and purchasing multiple certificates may qualify you for a volume discount – just contact us at SSL.com for more information. An SSL.com account is created for you automatically when you make a purchase on SSL.com. Any SSL certificates you have purchased can be managed through your SSL.com account. Your purchases will appear as unused credits in your SSL.com account until you have submitted your CSR (these credits never expire and can be used on demand). Generate and Submit your CSR Each certificate requires a CSR – this will contain the information to uniquely identify and protect your site. SSL.com customers hosting on a Windows server can generate a CSR using Other server environments will have their own method for generating a CSR, but most are pretty straightforward and all will result in the CSR itself, saved as a downloadable text file. Detailed CSR generation instructions for most web servers can be To submit your CSR to SSL.com, just follow the Validate your request When you have submitted your CSR, you will need to verify your request by validating that you control the domain the certificate will protect., you will either need to reply to a validation email or place a verification file on your website before your certificate can be created. Are you looking to move from HTTP to HTTPS and install a SSL certificate on your WordPress site? In this article, we will show you how to add SSL and HTTPS in WordPress. Learn what you need to do to implement an SSL certificate on your website and start using HTTPS today with our step-by-step tutorial. Make the internet safer. After generating the certificate, you'll want to note the Important Notes shows the location of your Certbot configuration directory. This contains your account. You will be notified by email when your certificate is ready for download and installation. Higher-trust Extended Validation (EV) certificates will also have additional, more extensive requirements, as. SSL.com customers ordering EV certificates will immediately receive a standard Basic certificate after going through the standard validation process, with the EV certificate following when the additional verification is completed. Install your SSL.com certificate on your server Your SSL certificate can be delivered to you via email or downloaded from your SSL.com account. You can then install your certificate on your web server.
