Configuring TLS between Forms and the Internet Browser

To increase security, you may want to set up a TLS connection between the machine hosting the Laserfiche Forms server and the Internet browser. You'll need to configure Forms to use an TLS connection and import or create a Server Certificate for your site in IIS.

On the Forms Configuration page

  1. Open the Forms Server tab of the Forms Configuration page.
  2. Under Primary Forms Server URL, select the Use TLS connection checkbox.

Note: After upgrading from a previous version, you'll need to manually select this checkbox again to use an TLS connection.
