Deployed SelectServer serving licensing clients over HTTPS

Question

Posted on behalf of user. 
 
 I need support regarding Bentley software, our security team have concerns regarding IIS service running on Bentley server so: 
 1. Is IIS required or could be removed? 
 2. If it is required can we change the bindings to https and install certificate only and remove http and how to do that

1. SelectServer is a web application running on top of Microsoft IIS and IIS is required in order to use SelectServer. 
 2. You can set up the IIS site in which SelectServer is installed or only the BSS virtual directory that contains SelectServer functionality to work using HTTPS protocol. However this is Microsoft IIS configuration not related to Bentley software and we do not have instructions for that. In order to set that up, please, contact your IIS administrator or use Microsoft IIS documentation, you may want to check this link: www.iis.net/.../how-to-set-up-ssl-on-iis
