In the HTTPS Channel Settings screen, you can specify that all channels that use HTTPS to send messages are to use a separate port. This enables you to add HTTPS verification without affecting the web server. Specifying a separate HTTPS server also means that your web server does not have to run in HTTPS mode, if this is not needed.

	New Feature in Iguana 4.1 The ability to specify a separate port for HTTPS transmissions has been added to Iguana 4.1.

To specify a port for HTTPS messages:

• Click the Settings tab at the top right of the screen. In the Settings screen, click HTTPS Channel Settings. The HTTPS Channel Settings screen appears:

• Click Edit. The HTTPS Channel Settings screen now enables you to specify the HTTPS channel port:

	If you are not a member of the Administrators role, the Edit button is disabled. See Creating a Role for more information on roles in Iguana.

• Select the Use dedicated port radio button if you want to use a separate port for HTTPS messages, or select Use web server port if you want HTTPS messages to be sent on the port that the web server normally uses.

	The Web Server screen displays the web server port. See Web Server Configuration for more information on this screen.

• If you select Use dedicated port, fields appear that enable you to select the port and define the security information:

• In the Port field, type the port that you want to use for HTTPS messages.
• In the Certificate File text field, type the location of your certificate file.
• In the Private Key File text field, type the location of your private key file.
• If you want to verify the authenticity of the server to which you are sending messages, select the Verify Peer check box. If the Verify Peer check box is selected, the Certificate Authority File text field is displayed:

• In the Certificate Authority File text field, type or browse for the location of the certificate authority file.
• Click Apply Changes to save your changes.
