Designer over SSL

Ignition
1

Cannot get designer to launch when gateway is setup to use non-standard SSL port

port 8042 - Ignition Edge - Designer won’t start - socket timeout error
port 8043 - Ignition Full - Designer works fine
port 8044 - Ignition Full - Designer won’t start - socket timeout error

All on Ubuntu 16.04 LTS
All 7.9.3
Can navigate to gateway via SSL on all.

Bug, configuration, or ID-10-T issue???

Once you configure SSL on 8044 do you download a new JNLP file before you try to launch?

Yes, I have downloaded many JNLPs from the gateway since changing the ssl port…

I have also tried the client launcher and get the following in its log:

A bit more information…

All works fine when I try to run the designer from a computer on the same network as the Ignition server. The failures only occur when the connection is going through a router. I have three Ignition servers and am using 3 different SSL ports. The server using 8043 works fine, the other two (8042 and 8044) fail.

Ignition uses both SSL and non-SSL ports when in SSL mode. You’ll have to change the non-ssl port for the two other servers and make sure they pinhole through your router, too.
