Designating HTTP or HTTPS settings for Process Portal

The Business Space component is configured to be accessed by HTTPS by default. You can change the protocol from the default or back to the default by running a script. When only HTTPS connections are allowed, any HTTP requests are redirected to HTTPS.

Restriction: Be aware that not all of the Process Portal functionality is available if you change the access settings to HTTP.

This task describes how to change the protocol by running the configBSpaceTransport.py script.

You can also change the protocol by specifying allowhttp or httpsonly in the web.xml file.

Procedure

1. Locate the INSTALL_ROOT\BusinessSpace\scripts\configBSpaceTransport.py script.

2. If you have a stand-alone server, run one of the following commands on the server:

   • To only allow HTTPS connections to Process Portal:

     wsadmin -lang jython -user  user_name -password  password 
             -f configBSpaceTransport.py -httpsonly

   • To allow HTTP connections to Process Portal:

     wsadmin -lang jython -user  user_name -password  password 
             -f configBSpaceTransport.py -allowhttp

   Tip: By default, the command applies to the current server and node. If you want to specify a different location, use the optional -serverName and -nodeName parameters.

3. If you have a ND environment, run one of the following commands on the dmgr.

   • To only allow HTTPS connections to Process Portal:

     wsadmin -lang jython -user  user_name -password  password 
             -f configBSpaceTransport.py -httpsonly 
             -clusterName  application_cluster

   • To allow HTTP connections to Process Portal:

     wsadmin -lang jython -user  user_name -password  password 
             -f configBSpaceTransport.py -allowhttp 
             -clusterName  application_cluster

   Where application_cluster is the cluster where the Process Portal application is deployed.

Results

The required connection protocol for Process Portal is selected.
