Reviewing Workstation Services Security

Starting with the Simphony 19.6 release, some ServiceHost services now listen on separate HTTP and HTTPS ports. To help review your workstation’s services security and port settings, a few changes have been made to the Property Management Console’s (PMC) Support tab.

Running a Workstation Security Report

To generate a security report from a workstation:

1. Select the Launch PMC function key.

2. Select the Support tab.

3. Under the Workstations heading, select the Security button to generate a report.

The PMC Services form has been updated to include Secure Port numbers and Secure URLs when the feature and your system is working as expected.

Note:

In case of any problems, a fallback to HTTP mode has been implemented, so the form shows the legacy HTTP ports and URLs when in this mode.
