How to Start WAB-developer edition with HTTPS?

PrashantKirpan — Sun, 18 Nov 2018 23:38:17 GMT

Hi All,

I am trying to run WAB-developer edition 2.10 using HTTPS because my portal is installed on secured environment. After running "startup.bat" from installed location i.e "C:\WebAppBuilderForArcGIS\",I tried to access developer edition using HTTPS but getting below exception.

Any help would be appreciated.

Regards,

Prashant

Prashant,

I get the same message when I work with WAB dev. I just click the 'Continue to this website (not recommended)' and it works without a problem. It will be interesting to hear what other people have to say

Regards

Hi Anthony,

What portal url are you using? There is no issue if portal is hosted on non secured environment(http).

I tried to run WAB dev with 'Continue to this website (not recommended)' but failed to register secured portal url and app id.

I have specified portal url and hit continue button. I got below exception on browser.

Prashant

Prashant,

I'm using WAB dev 2.10 with Portal 10.3.1 with https only configured. It appears to be working for me.

Hi Anthony,

I tried with chrome and it seems to be working but still question remains, is this recommended way? because as mentioned in help document https should work with wab dev but not working in my case.

And IE-11 continuously redirecting to "specify portal url" page.

Take a look at this blog on how to replace the self-signed certificate used by WAB DE.

Hi,

I have tired the steps mentioned in above blog but node.js doesn't start after replacing files. So i have followed steps mentioned in below blog. It generates *.pem files using .pfx and some additional configuration is required to make it working.

Steps :

Repalce *.pem in WAB server folder
Run --> mmc.exe
File --> Add/Remove Snap-in
Certificates --> click Add

Console Root --> Trusted Root Certification Authorities -> Certificate
All Tasks --> Import -> .pfx
Start WAB-Dev
