The following steps are recommended to secure your on-premise VisibleThread server.

Note: You will need to login to the Linux terminal either remotely (using SSH e.g. Putty) or have direct terminal access to carry out the following steps.

1. Install an SSL certificate

The VisibleThread web application is only available over https. Any requests to http will automatically redirect to https. Out of the box, the VisibleThread web application uses a self-signed certificate. It is best practice to install a properly signed SSL certificate. See this support article for details : How-to-install-an-SSL-certificate-on-a-deployed-VisibleThread-Server

2. Setup Single Sign On (SSO)

We recommend that you setup SSO for your VT Docs server. See our SSO setup guide.
