We recommend that you use SSL to secure your jmc server. In fact, if any users are going to use the jmc mobile apps, you must install an SSL Certificate. To find a vendor able to sell you an SSL certificate, search the internet for "ssl certificates". 

Here is a link to instructions for setting this up in Windows Server 2008.

Once you have your SSL certificate working, redirect any http traffic to the https site:

Step One: Double-click the "C:" drive and open the "inetpub" folder. 

Step Two: At the top, click "New Folder" and name it "REDIRECTHTTP". 

Step Three: Go back into Internet Information Services (IIS) Manager, and click the "+" next to your server name in the upper left corner. 

Step Four: Highlight the "Sites" folder and click "Add Web Site…".

Step Five: Type "HTTPRedirection" for the "Site Name," and then click the "…" button, next to the "Physical Path" field. 

Step Six: Navigate to and select the folder that you just created named "REDIRECTHTTP".

Step Seven: In the "Host Name" field, type in your jmc server DNS host name and click "OK".

Step Eight: Click on the "HTTPRedirection" folder on the left, and double-click on "HTTP Redirect" in the middle section under IIS.

Helpful Tip: Make sure the box is checked in front of "Redirect requests to this destination", and if it isn’t already there, type in "https://(YourjmcWebServerDNSName)" in the field and click "Apply" to the right.

Step Nine: Click the "HTTPRedirection" folder again on the left, and "Bindings…" to the far right. Highlight your server and click "Edit".

Step Ten: Type in your web server host name in the "Host name" field and click "OK". Quit IIS Manager by clicking on the "X" in the upper right corner.
