By default, Intellicus Kyvos Reporting is installed to work without the use of SSL (Secure Sockets Layer).
However, Intellicus Kyvos Reporting Report Server and Web Portal can communicate over a secured connection using Secure Sockets Layer. This ensures that encrypted data is passed between the report server and web portal so that data remains private and integral.
...
At the time of installation, Intellicus Kyvos Reporting by default installs tomcat web server. Given here are the instructions of configuring Tomcat to work under SSL. Before going ahead, make sure Intellicus Kyvos Reporting is already installed.

<!-- Define a SSL HTTP/1.1 Connector on port 8443
This connector uses the OpenSSL style configuration
described in the APR documentation. This connector
should be used when APR(tcnative-1.dll)is used -->
<!--
<Connector port="8443" protocol="HTTP/1.1" SSLEnabled="true"
maxThreads="150" scheme="https" secure="true"
clientAuth="false" sslProtocol="TLS"
SSLCertificateFile="../conf/localhost.crt"
SSLCertificateKeyFile="../conf/localhost.key"
SSLPassword="intellicusKyvos Reporting" />
-->
