Initializing help system before first use

Worker SSL Configuration

These instructions use the term <INSTALLDATADIR> to describe the path to your installation directory hosting the data files, and <INSTALLDIR> to describe the path to your installed Insight program files.
  • If you chose the default installation settings, and you installed the Worker and the Server in the same host machine:
    1. <INSTALLDATADIR> will normally be C:\ProgramData\FICO\Xpress Insight unless otherwise set by your IT department.
    2. <INSTALLDIR> will normally be C:\Program Files\FICO\Xpress Insight.
  • If you chose to install the Worker separately, use the installation path you selected.
To run the worker on https, perform the following tasks:
  1. Navigate to your Xpress Insight 5 data folder and use a suitable text editor to open the application.properties file. This folder location is: <INSTALLDATADIR>\Worker\config\application.properties.
  2. Uncomment the SSL section in application.properties.
  3. Save the changes, and do not close the application.properties file.
  4. Navigate to <INSTALLDIR> and open a Command Prompt window. Enter the following command and press Enter. 
    insight-worker.sh

    You will be prompted to enter a passphrase. This passphrase will be used to create a config\insight-keystore file, and start the worker at https://localhost:9443.

  5. To trust a server running on https, start it by accessing the url, for example, https://localhost:8443, and then create a trust store entry by running: 
    insight-worker.sh --trust-ssl localhost:8443
    You will be asked to enter the passphrase again.
    Note The trust store is created as a file named <INSTALLDATADIR>\Worker\config\insight-cacerts.

Now when you start the worker by running the insight-worker.sh command without any arguments, it will trust the server's SSL certificate. If you have multiple servers, repeat this process for each one to add them to the trust store.
