Dell Data Protection Encryption self-signed Enterprise Edition certificate error assigning port "x"

Affected Products:

• Dell Data Protection | Enterprise Edition

Affected Versions:

• v8.3.1

While generating a self-signed certificate in Dell Data Protection | Encryption Enterprise Edition, you may receive the error message "Error assigning port 0 to certificate hostname the parameter is incorrect."

As normal product behavior, the Dell Data Protection | Enterprise Edition Server installer checks for the presence of Windows Identity Foundation (WIF) before allowing the install to proceed. If for instance, the Enterprise Server Service is "Stopped" the installer may continue although WIF is not installed.

Reference the Dell Data Protection | Enterprise Edition Server Installation and Migration Guide for the complete list of server prerequisites: Dell Security Management Server Installation and Migration Guide v11.3

Not Applicable

To work around this issue, verify that the Windows Identity Foundation (WIF) is installed on that server.

If it is not present, then install WIF and generate your certificates again.
