Configuring HTTPS with Management Reporter CU16
Management Reporter CU16 offers a new HTTPS feature to enable encrypted communication between the Management Reporter server and client (Report Designer, Report Viewer and the web client).
This article will guide you through setting up the HTTPS feature in CU16. It is recommended that you test this in a test environment to confirm that the HTTPS feature works for your configuration. If you are interested in deploying the HTTPS feature in a production environment, then it would be encouraged to use a signed SSL certificate obtained from a Certification Authority (CA).

I tried to configure SSL using a wildcard certificate and was not successful. While the configuration console has a hostname field, it is grayed out for editing. I wanted to use https://mr.domain.com:4713. But instead, the configuration console insisted on configuring https://localservername:4713.
I tried manually registering the cert using netsh.exe and editing MRServiceHost.settings.config, but I couldn't get it to work.
