Date Updated 12/08/2005
Versions affected Automize 4.x+
OS affected All
Description Web download, Url Cgi, Spider, Monitor tasks do not support https protocol
Causes SSL Feature is not supported in 4.x or 5.x.   
Solution Beginning with version 5.2_2, we have implemented code for https.  However, you have to install additonal SSL files as described below: (please note: MacOSX users already have these files on their system and do not need to follow this procedure)

1) Stop the Automize NT service if you are using it.
2) Use the Automize user interface / Utilities menu / 'Java Variables' feature.
3)  Lookup the value of the 'java.home' variable. Write this value down.
4) Shut down the Automize scheduler engine.
5) Shut down the Automize user interface.
6) Download ssl.zip
7) The ssl.zip file contains 3 .jar files (jsse.jar, jnet.jar, jcert.jar) in an 'ext' folder.
8) Move to 'java.home' folder.  There should be a 'lib' folder in it. 
9) Extract the ssl.zip file into the 'lib' folder
10) An 'ext' folder will be created in the 'lib' folder, and the paths of the jar files should be:
...'java.home'/lib/ext/jsse.jar     etc...
11) Restart Automize
