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.
