Hy Gerry,
First, With https/SSL, you don't really need to use a certified certificate, You can create a dummy one to signed the net flows
But here the situation is quite different.
I saw into you post title "WebStart". WebStart equals a standalone one. The only difference is that a servlet container (Tomcat for example) can deliver it to you locally onto you desktop
SSL the tomcat here is possible but the flow will be in plain clear. The servlet is working as a standalone console (You need to switch all your Univiewer modules to SSL) You can find this into the Admin documentation
The Other way to signed the User flow is the use of the "Webconsole" (instead of webstart) mode the Servlet delivered by Tomcat is now in A Client/Server flow
* You separate the User Network and the Servers/DUAS networks by using Webconsole (because only the Servlet Server Part communicates with the DUAS, not the console)
* You can sign the User communication by only switch the Tomcat to SSL and not the Console/UVMS.
* If you want to secure also the LDAP authent, you need to SSL on the UVMS LDAP config part
* If you want to secure also the Serlver/server part to DUAS and components, you nee to SSL the UVMS... and also all the DUAS
If you use WebStart, that means that it's not perfectly secured because User network / DUAS network are linked
The only way to solve this is providing the use of the Webstart on an VPN/Citrix/VM but not locally on your local dektop
May can help.
Regards
Eric

Hello Gerry,
To use UVC/UVMS with SSL, you do indeed need a certificate as @Pete Wirfs mentioned.
You can find a section of our documentation that outlines how to accomplish this here:
https://docs.automic.com/documentation/webhelp/english/ALL/components/DU_AS/latest/%20%20Dollar%20Universe%20Guides/help.htm#UV_adm/SSL%20Communications.htm%3FTocPath%3DUniviewer%2520Administration%2520Guide%7CConfiguration%2520and%2520Maintenance%7CSSL%2520Communications%7C_____0
I hope that helps!

Hello,
We have UVC version 6.9.21, and launch it via an http://hostname>:8080/univiewer_console_webstart. It is working now. However, our LAN team is asking if we can launch it using https. Is that possible? If so, what url will we use?
Thanks in advance for your help.
