SSL Consideration for WebSphere Commerce Payments

By default, the communication between WebSphere Commerce and WebSphere Commerce Payments is through SSL. For security reasons, customers are recommended not to use non-SSL, while connecting WebSphere Commerce Payments to WebSphere Commerce.

To ensure that the communication is through SSL, use the following URL:

https://host_name:port_number/webapp/PaymentManager

where host_name is your WebSphere Commerce Payments server machine name, and port_number is 5433 (by default).

However, if you launch the WebSphere Commerce Payments user interface directly as follows, you are invoking WebSphere Commerce Payments using non-SSL communication:

http://host_name:port_number/webapp/PaymentManager

where host_name is your WebSphere Commerce Payments server machine name, and port_number is 5432 (by default).
