Connecting to the translation management system using HTTPS

To connect to the translation management system using HTTPS (SSL), configure the <TmsServer> element in the TranslationManager.xml file and install a security certificate on each machine where the Translation Manager Service is installed.

About this task

If you have local policies in place for obtaining security certificates, use these. Otherwise, you can obtain a certificate via the certificate authorities which come pre-installed in Web browsers.

Procedure

  1. Open the TranslationManager.xml file by default located in your Tridion installation \config directory.
  2. In the <TmsServer> element, specify connection details to the translation management system you are using, for example:
    <TmsServer port="443" compression="true" ssl="true">https://
    sdltridion.tms.com</TmsServer>
    • Specify the correct port
    • Set ssl to true
    • Specify the https:// address of the translation management system server you are using
  3. Save and close TranslationManager.xml and restart the Translation Manager Service.
  4. On each machine where you have installed Translation Manager Service, get a certificate by opening a Web browser—for example Internet Explorer—and enter the address (URL) of the translation management system server:
  5. Click the Security Report icon:
  6. Click View certificates:
  7. Click Install Certificate:
  8. In the Certificate Import Wizard, follow the instructions to install a certificate.
