Procedure

4. In the SampleManager Chromeleon Link WebAPI Service Wizard, select Next.
5. Keep the default Destination Folder (recommended) or enter a path to the desired destination folder.
6. Select Next.
7. Select the Web API Settings:
1. Leave the default HTTP/HTTPS Port (8082) or enter a new port number. The default port number corresponds to the existing Legacy web API port number. Thus, it is overwritten. If you want to run both, the WebAPI Service and the Legacy web API, in parallel, enter a new port number.
2. Select the checkbox to ignore ready check warnings with source URL.

1. Select the HTTPS enabled checkbox to enable HTTPS transfer.

2. NOTE

   Unlike the Legacy web API, the WebAPI Service does not automatically create a self-signed SSL certificate.

1. Certificate Path: Enter the path of your SSL certificate.
2. Certificate Password: Enter the password of your SSL certificate.
3. Certificate Store: Enter your certificate store. For more information, refer to the Microsoft website.
