Allowing HTTP CONNECT method tunnels using port 443

  1. Configure the FH Web Edition server to accept connections on port 443.
  2. Specify port 443 in the FH Web Edition hyperlink.
  3. If necessary, configure the proxy server to allow connections to the FH Web Edition server on ports 80 (HTTP) and 443 (HTTPS).

    Once you have configured the FH Web Edition server and the FH Web Edition hyperlinks, users that meet the requirements are able to connect to the host.

  4. (Users running FH Web Edition from a shortcut) Append the -hp argument followed by 443 to the shortcut.

    Example: "...\FH_Web.exe" -h server -hp 443

    Without -hp 443 on the shortcut, these users are unable to sign in to FH Web Edition.

    Note: 

    • FH Web Edition clients are unable to connect to FH Web Edition servers through proxy servers configured to verify that the traffic on port 443 is HTTPS.
    • In a proxy server configuration, FH Web Edition only supports basic authentication.
