** Please note this is a direct posting from Microsoft http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff381261.aspx#BKMK_Configure_ssl_enabled_communication

Follow these below instructions. Take close note to this line, especially the part in BOLD : Navigate to the directory where you copied the securefastsearchconnector.ps1 script and run it, replacing the necessary parameters with the values for your environment. The domain and user name should reflect the details of the user running the SharePoint Server Search 14 (OSearch14) service.

Configure SSL enabled communication

Ff381261.Warning(en-us,office.14).gifWarning:
Configuring SSL enabled communication is mandatory.

 

Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) communication is required to feed content from SharePoint Server 2010 to FAST Search Server 2010 for SharePoint. To enable secure communications, configure the Content SSA to use an SSL certificate for FAST Search Server 2010 for SharePoint. FAST Search Server 2010 for SharePoint generates a self-signed certificate during post-setup configuration. This section describes how to use this certificate to enable SSL communication using the self-signed certificate. It is recommended to use certificates issued by a proper Certificate Authority in production environments, refer to Manage certificates (FAST Search Server 2010 for SharePoint) for advanced instructions.

The following procedure has to be followed at least one time, to enable SSL communication between the SharePoint Server 2010 server that runs the Content SSA crawl component and the FAST Search Server 2010 for SharePoint back-end. If your environment contains additional SharePoint Server 2010 servers running a Content SSA crawl component, additional steps are required to enable SSL communication for those servers. Refer to Multiple server deployment of the Content SSA (FAST Search Server 2010 for SharePoint) for more information.

Ff381261.Important(en-us,office.14).gifImportant:
This procedure includes copying sensitive information. Ensure that the certificate information is kept private.

 

  1. Copy the script securefastsearchconnector.ps1 from the FAST Search Server 2010 for SharePoint admin server to the SharePoint Server 2010 server. The securefastsearchconnector.ps1 script is in the installation folder, under installerscripts.
  2. Copy the certificate file FASTSearchCert.pfx from the FAST Search Server 2010 for SharePoint admin server to the SharePoint Server 2010 server. The certificate file is in the installation folder, under datadata_securitycert.
  3. Open a Microsoft SharePoint 2010 Administration Shell with the Run as administratoroption on the SharePoint Server 2010 server.Navigate to the directory where you copied the securefastsearchconnector.ps1 script and run it, replacing the necessary parameters with the values for your environment. The domain and user name should reflect the details of the user running the SharePoint Server Search 14 (OSearch14) service.

    .SecureFASTSearchConnector.ps1 –certPath “path of the certificatecertificatename.pfx” –ssaName “name of your content SSA” –username “domainusername”

    When prompted to enter the certificate password, enter the certificate password that you supplied when you ran the post-setup configuration of FAST Search Server 2010 for SharePoint.

    Ff381261.Important(en-us,office.14).gifImportant:
    The script verifies the connection to FAST Search Server 2010 for SharePoint. Therefore, make sure that all servers in the FAST Search Server 2010 for SharePoint farm are running before you run this script.
