Review the DUA Configuration Settings for HTTPS

After you have selected the user account that DUA is to use, configured your Web server to host the DUP files, and configured HTTPS on your Web server, review the settings on your run-time image. These settings must match the settings on the Web server and the commands in the .dus file.

Before testing DUA, verify that the correct settings are contained in the run-time image and the .dus file.

To verify the DUA configuration settings on the Client

  1. Edit the registry of your run-time image by either using regedit, or loading the hive offline.

  2. Review the following registry entries to ensure they are valid with your Web server configurations:

    • Hostname

      Key:HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\DUAgent\Parameters\Config\Sessions\0000

      Name: Hostname

      Type: REG_DWORD

      Value: <Fully qualified name to Web server>

      Example: myserver.mydomain.com

    • Protocol

      Key:HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\DUAgent\Parameters\Config\Sessions\0000

      Name: Protocol

      Type: REG_DWORD

      Value: 1

      1=HTTPS, 0=HTTP.

    • User Account

      Key:HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\DUAgent\Parameters\Config\Sessions\0000

      Name: Username

      Type: REG_SZ

      Value: <username for DUA Service account>

    • Password

      Key:HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\DUAgent\Parameters\Config\Sessions\0000

      Name: Password

      Type: REG_SZ

      Value: <password for DUA Service account>

    For more information on the DUA registry settings on your run-time image, see DUA Registry Settings.

To verify the DUS commands

  1. Open your Device Update Script file (.dus).

  2. Review the HTTPGET commands for inclusion of the correct server name with the fully qualified domain name, HTTP type, user account and password, for example:

    16,0,0,<myhostname.domain.com>,0,dua/image.jpg,0,c:\DUAUpdate\image.jpg,,,,,,<local>,1,443,0,,,,2,0,<username>,0,<password>
