Search Suggestions do not appear when accessing the Web Client via HTTPS

SYMPTOMS

After changing the WebServerExtensions configuration as per the ""Preview not available" is displayed instead of the documents thumbnails when accessing the Web Client via HTTPS" Knowledgebase article, Search Suggestions still do not appear.

The following error occurs when browsing https://localhost/WebserverExtensions/SearchSuggestionService/SearchSuggestionService.svc.

[InvalidOperationException: The HttpGetEnabled property of ServiceMetadataBehavior is set to true and the HttpGetUrl property is a relative address, but there is no http base address.  Either supply an http base address or set HttpGetUrl to an absolute address.]

CAUSE

Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) binding for this website has been removed from Microsoft Internet Information Services (IIS) configuration, effectively not serving any HTTP connection.

RESOLUTION

Disable HttpGetEnabled in the Service Behavior Configuration.

• Create a backup copy of the existing "C:\Program Files (x86)\ZyLAB\Information Management Platform\Webserverextensions.webservice\Web.config" configuration file.
• Open "C:\Program Files (x86)\ZyLAB\Information Management Platform\Webserverextensions.webservice\Web.config" in a text editor.
• Navigate to the configuration > system.serviceModel > behaviors > serviceBehaviors section.
• Find the searchBehavior key with httpGetEnabled property set to 'True'.
• Change the httpGetEnabled property to 'False'. There is no need to restart the service, just refresh the page in Internet Explorer.

The following is an example of how this configuration section should look like:

<serviceBehaviors>
    <behavior name="imageBehavior">
        <serviceMetadata httpGetEnabled="true" />
        <serviceDebug includeExceptionDetailInFaults="false" />
    </behavior>
    <behavior name="searchBehavior">
        <serviceMetadata httpGetEnabled="false" />
        <serviceDebug includeExceptionDetailInFaults="false" />
    </behavior>
</serviceBehaviors>
