CPS 13.0.2.13 breaks HTTPS

Hi there,

I just realized, that the Critical Patch Set Bundle 13.0.2.13 changes the configuration value of wt.webserver.protocol in wt.properties.xconf from “https” to “http”.

“Server Status” in “Site → Utilities” then shows “SITE NOT RESPONDING” under section “File Servers”.
At this point You cannot access the home page, detail pages or workspace content.

Steps to reproduce:

• Installation of Windchill 13.0.0.0 on an “empty” system with example data and demo user
• Enabling SSL according to 
  https://support.ptc.com/help/windchill/r13.0.0.0/en/index.html#page/Windchill_Help_Center/WCInstallConfigGuide/WCInstall_HTTPSApacheWCConfig.html
• Installing Critical Patch Set 13.0.2.13 with option “keep Webserver configuration”

To Fix the issue:

• start Windchill - Shell and check with xconfmanager, where wt.webserver.protocol is defined

  xconfmanager -d wt.webserver.protocol

  That should give You something like this:

  Property information for 'wt.webserver.protocol':
     Values:
     - https
     Locations:
     - file:/D:/ptc/Windchill_13.0/Windchill/codebase/wt.properties.xconf, line 108
     Target File(s):
     - D:\ptc\Windchill_13.0\Windchill\codebase\wt.properties

   

• Go to <Winchill Home>/codebase/wt.properties.xconf and change value ( aka “default”) back to “https”

  <Property name="wt.webserver.protocol" default="https"/>
