...

When executed, you will be asked to set the password for the private key. The "cert.pfx" file is then created. You can use this file and the corresponding password to configure the Connect Server for HTTPS. For more information, see the chapter Configuration (Connect 2021).

Connect Server on Linux

Which Linux distributions are supported?

In principle, the Connect Server should run on all common Linux distributions. Our internal tests are currently carried out using the latest version of Suse (SLES), RedHat (CentOS), Ubuntu and Debian (only in combination with Docker).

Connect Server on Windows

Which Windows versions are supported?

The Connect Server can be operated on Windows client versions from Windows 7 onwards as well as on Windows Server from Windows Server 2016 onwards.

Are specific server roles required?

Only the operation under IIS on Windows Server requires the corresponding web server role. Otherwise, no special server roles are required.

Connect Server on other operating systems

Are other operating systems such as MacOS supported?

In general, the operation of the Connect Server should be possible on all operating systems for which .NET 5.0 is available. This also applies to MacOS. However, we are currently only testing on Windows and various Linux distributions.
