You cannot do HTTPS monitoring with V7 now. I personally don't expect Ipswitch to build support for it anytime soon. The kicker with HTTPS is that WhatsUp would have to support SSL (technically, a plugin for WhatsUp would have to support SSL). If you have a good Win32 SSL library, this is not impossible. But, most of the good SSL libraries are not cheap. In fact, I think all of the commercial ones try to stick the developer with per-unit-sold royalties. While I can't speak for IpSwitch, I imagine this is one of their good reasons to have not done SSL monitoring yet. Those nasty export regulations being another.... But, the good news with WhatsUp is that a competent C++ programmer should be able to make their own SSL enabled TCP/IP plugin, using OpenSSL (www.openssl.org). Well, it may take someone a little more than just competent, but certainly not a wizard. --D Please visit http://www.ipswitch.com/support/mailing-lists.html to be removed from this list.
