Physical Path: This path was specified in Step 6 and is the location where files on the Web site are served up. You cannot edit this path.
IP Address: By default, this field indicates that Web requests will be responded to from any IP address available on the server. If the server has multiple IP addresses, you can specify which one you want to use.
SSL Port: The default port is 443. If there is a conflict, you can select another port.
Host Name: The host name as defined in DNS that you specified in Section 6.2, Prerequisites.
If a warning sign appears next to the Host Name entry, the host name is not fully resolved. Verify that there is a DNS entry for the File Reporter Web application and that the resolved IP address or addresses are located on the host machine.

Unless your organization has a policy against redirects, leave the check box selected and click Next.
Set the network profiles according to your organization’s security policies and click Next.
