Configure web server security

For security reasons, the portal search seedlist by default redirects to HTTPs. Therefore configure the myserver web server for HTTPs.

For information about how to do this, go to the Installing section of the WebSphere Portal documentation. Select the appropriate operating system for the installation, and then the subsection for a stand-alone or clustered environment. Then select the topic about Prepare a remote Web server.

If you do not want to provide HTTPs security for the portal search seedlist, we can configure portal search to use HTTP only...

./ConfigEngine.sh modify-servlet-transport-guarantee-none -DPortalAdminPwd=foo -DWasPassword=foo

For z/OS use the Customization Dialog which calls this task directly.

For the updates to take effect, restart the portal server.
