External Access for OIS Configuration - Configuration - P54592-P101-A1 - P54592-P118-A1

In cases where OIS and Siveillance Control are running on different computers, you have to configure the external access to enable Siveillance Control to access OIS. The required import files are transferred directly from the working computer to the OIS server for this purpose. A certificate is required on one hand and access from the OIS server needs to be authorized on the other hand in order to prevent unauthorized persons from accessing the OIS server via the web application.

Creating Certificates

You can create certificates if a certificate cannot be downloaded or if several OIS are used. In the latter case, the certificate is used for differentiating between the individual installations and sites.
