Enterprise Manager works with http, but not with https

Challenge

Solution

To resolve:

1. Clear browser's cache, cookies, history files, SSL state. Make sure that static content is enabled in browser's settings.
2. Make sure ports 9392 and 9394 are open.
3. Go to the Internet Information Services (IIS) Manager console -> Sites and check whether the "VeeamBackup" site is started or not (%windir%\system32\inetsrv\AppCmd.exe also works).
4. Then go to the Internet Information Services (IIS) Manager console -> Application Pools and check that VeeamBackup application pool exists and has at least one linked application.
5. Go to Services under the Computer Management console and insure that Veeam Backup Enterprise Manager service is started.

In case of using IIS6:

• Make sure anonymous access is enabled in IIS

• Then recreate a self-signed certificate for https connection:

  • ​Use SSLDiag.exe tool which is included in the IIS Diagnostics Toolkit and is the recommended replacement for SelfSSL for creating self signed certificates:

• Go to C:\Program Files\IIS Resources\SSLDiag and run the SSLDiag.exe tool with the following parameters: SSLDiag.exe /s:2 /selfssl /n:CN=Veeam Backup Enterprise Manager_server_hostname /v:36

(Download the tool from Microsoft at the link below if you need it: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=7E42B310-B2D1-496B-8005-9D91782B9995&displaylang=en)
