text: If you do not choose to install Foglight in Secure Server mode, you can edit server.config after installation and manually configure Foglight to restrict the Management Server to use the HTTPS port when accessing the browser interface.
  Open the file <foglight_home>\config\server.config on the Management Server machine. |
  to : |
  Import the signed certificate into the Foglight keystore. See for instructions. |
  Launch the Foglight browser interface using the appropriate HTTPS URL (https://<hostname>:<https_port>) to ensure that the Management Server can be accessed using HTTPS. |
  NOTE: The Foglight Management Server uses the HTTP port for local access even if you are accessing the browser interface through an HTTPS connection. If that is the case, both ports are open: the HTTPS port for external requests coming from the browser interface and the HTTP port for local requests. For example, the reporting service accesses the Foglight Management Server through the HTTP port while external requests use HTTPS. You must configure your firewall or network security applications to allow both ports to remain open. |
  In order to set up the Foglight Management Server to use HTTPS, you must generate a key pair (security certificate) into the Foglight keystore. This security certificate allows the server to communicate through the HTTPS protocol. Delete the existing certificate shipped with Foglight before generating a new key pair. Use the keytool utility shipped with Foglight to create, import, and export certificates. This utility can be found at:
  (default password: ) |

  Back up the existing tomcat key using the following command: |
  key from the directory using the following command: |
  Create a new key under the tomcat alias using the following command: |
  Once you have the certificate signed, import it back to the tomcat.keystore using the following command: |
  You can configure the length of inactive Foglight browser interface sessions by changing the value of the parameter server.console.session.timeout. This parameter controls the length of time that Foglight waits before automatically logging you out of an idle browser interface session.
  on the Management Server machine. Set the parameter to the desired value in minutes. |
