Update Cobra on Existing Workstations to Use HTTPS

Follow this procedure to update Cobra on existing workstations to use HTTPS.

To update Cobra on existing workstations:

1. Navigate to the Cobra installation directory and locate the following files:
   • <Cobra installation directory>\Cobra.WinUI.exe.config
   • <Cobra installation directory>\Cobra.Api.exe.config

   Note: Perform steps 2 to 4 in each of the files.
2. Locate the <services> node in the file and update the address attributes on both <service> nodes to use “https” and the correct HTTPS port.

   
   <services>
    <service name="PersistenceService" behaviorConfiguration="Behavior1"> 
    <endpoint address="https://MAK123456:8113/PersistenceService" binding="customBinding"bindingConfiguration="compressedBinaryBinding" contract="IdeaBlade.Persistence.Wcf.IWcfPersistenceService">
   <identity><servicePrincipalName value="Local Network"></servicePrincipalName></identity> 
    </endpoint> 
    </service>
   <service name="IdeaBlade.Persistence.Wcf.WcfPersistenceServer" behaviorConfiguration="Behavior1"> 
   <endpoint address="https://MAK123456:8113/PersistenceServer" binding="customBinding" bindingConfiguration="compressedBinaryBinding" contract="IdeaBlade.Persistence.Wcf.IWcfPersistenceServer">
   <identity><servicePrincipalName value="Local Network"></servicePrincipalName></identity> 
     </endpoint>
    </service> 
   </services>
   

3. Depending on your binding preference, perform one of the following actions:
   • If you are using customBinding, locate the <customBinding> node in the file and update the <httpTransport> node to <httpsTransport>.

     
     <customBinding>
     <binding name="compressedBinaryBinding" closeTimeout="10:01:00" openTimeout="10:01:00" receiveTimeout="10:01:00" sendTimeout="10:01:00" 
     		<gzipMessageEncoding>
         <readerQuotas maxDepth="2147483647" maxNameTableCharCount="2147483647" maxBytesPerRead="2147483647"maxArrayLength="2147483647"maxStringContentLength="2147483647"/>
       </gzipMessageEncoding>
      <httpsTransport maxReceivedMessageSize="2147483647" />
     </binding>
     </customBinding>
     

   • If you are using wsHttpBinding, locate the <security mode="Message"> node under the <wsHttpBinding> node in each file and update it to <securityMode="TransportWithMessageCredential">.
4. Save the file.
5. Navigate to the Cobra installation directory and locate the IdeaBlade.ibconfig file.
6. Locate the <remoteBaseUrl> and <serverPort> nodes, and update the <remoteBaseUrl> node value to use 'https' and the <serverPort> node value to the correct HTTPS port.

   
   <remoting>
     <remotePersistenceEnabled>true</remotePersistenceEnabled>
     <communicationsTechnology>Wcf</communicationsTechnology>
     <remoteBaseURL>https://MAK123456</remoteBaseURL>
     <serverPort>8113</serverPort>
     <serviceName>PersistenceService</serviceName>
     <serverDetectTimeoutMilliseconds>-1</serverDetectTimeoutMilliseconds>
     <proxyPort>0</proxyPort>
   </remoting>

7. Save the file.
8. Launch the Cobra workstation to verify that it is configured correctly.
