Setup Web Service to Use SSL

Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) is a cryptographic protocol that helps provide security and data integrity for data communications over a network. By encrypting your Microsoft Dynamics NAV Web service using SSL, you make your data and the network more secure and more reliable.

It is required to secure data transfer between the Sana web store and Microsoft Dynamics NAV.

 NOTE

The server which hosts the Microsoft Dynamics NAV Web service must support TLS 1.2. TLS 1.2 is available on Windows Server 2008 R2 and higher. It is not available on Windows Server 2008 by default, but you can install an update to add support for TLS 1.2 on Windows Server 2008.

 NOTE

Before configuring the Web service to use SSL, you must obtain a security certificate for the Web service domain. The certificate is issued by a certificate authority (CA). If this is a test environment, you can create and use a self-signed SSL certificate. The self-signed SSL certificate can be used only for testing purposes.

For information on how to set up SSL for the Microsoft Dynamics NAV Web service, see 'Walkthrough: Configuring Web Services to Use SSL' in the Microsoft Developer Network. Select your Microsoft Dynamics NAV version at the top of the article to see the correct manual.
