Configure HTTP for the seedlist servlet

The seedlist servlet requires HTTPs by default. Therefore, when you access the servlet through HTTP, WebSphere Application Server redirects us to HTTPs. This is an optional step that can be completed while installing and configuring remote search service.

1. On the portal server, open the following file with an editor: PortalServer_root/search/wp.search.servlets/seedlist/servletEAR/installableApps/wp.search.seedlist.ear/wp.search.servlets.seedlist.war/WEB-INF/web.xml

   In a clustered environment, complete this step on the primary node and all secondary nodes.

2. Update the following code:

   In a clustered environment, complete this step on the primary node and all secondary nodes.

   <user-data-constraint>          <transport-guarantee>CONFIDENTIAL</transport-guarantee>
   </user-data-constraint>

   Replace it by the following code:

   <user-data-constraint>          <transport-guarantee>NONE</transport-guarantee>
   </user-data-constraint>

3. Save the file.

   In a clustered environment, complete this step on the primary node and all secondary nodes.

4. Run the following portal ConfigEngine script:

   In a clustered environment, complete this step on the primary node only.

   ./ConfigEngine.sh action-update-ear-wp.search.servlets/seedlist/servletEAR

5. Restart all servers in the configuration for the updates to take effect.
