Configuring P6 Professional to Connect to a Contract Management HTTPS URL

Previous TopicNext TopicContents

If P6 Professional connects to Contract Management hosted at an HTTPS URL, additional client configuration is required.

To configure P6 Professional client machines:

  1. Determine the P6 Professional client machines that will be used to import data from Contract Management.
  2. Close P6 Professional on the client machines if necessary.
  3. On each client machine, go to the following Web site:

    http://www.slproweb.com/products/Win32OpenSSL.html

  4. On the website, click the Visual C++ 2008 Redistributables link.
  5. On the page that opens, click Download to download the Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 RedistributablePackage (x86).
  6. For P6 Professional to communicate via HTTPS with the Contract Management server, an implementation of the OpenSSL libraries must be installed on all the client machines. To install a version of OpenSSL from Shining Light Productions:
    1. Go to the http://www.slproweb.com/products/Win32OpenSSL.html website, and click the Win32 OpenSSL v0.9.8k Light link. If v0.9.8k is not available, choose the latest version.
    2. Follow the prompts in the Setup wizard to install OpenSSL.

      Caution: In the Setup wizard, on the Select Additional Tasks dialog box, be sure to choose the Windows system directory option (this is selected by default).
