Optionally, checking the box on the “Advanced Settings” tab will allow for the configuration of product domains, HTTPS and task scheduler.

For explanations about all the options in advanced settings please click here.

Note: After saving configuration

When you change the port and domain, the webserver will automatically restart. It is possible that the application does not redirect you to the new configured domain and port. Therefore you should open up a new tab in the browser and navigate to the new domain with port number to continue using the ExtensionsManager.

If the settings appear to not have saved, please have a look at the configuration.yaml file inside the ExtensionsManager folder. The location of the certificate and key, port and host should be present in this file:

Example Linux:

domain: aft-extensions-manager.writebackextreme.com
useHTTPS: true
useSingleSSLFile: false
sslCertificateLocation: certificates/cert.crt
sslKeyLocation: certificates/key.key
sslSingleFileLocation: “”
isEncryptedSSLFile: false
sslPassword: “”
port: 33841
