var parameters = { 'cache_archive': cache_archive, 'cache_version': cache_version, 'java_arguments': javaArgs, 'applet_stop_timeout': '5000', 'kjr.trace.params': 'ERROR', 'cnp.publishurl.encryptuid': 'false', 'cnp.cmwapplet.systemout': 'YES', 'code': 'candle.fw.pres.CMWApplet', 'codebase': 'classes/', 'mayscript': 'true', 'cache_option': 'plugin', 'scriptable': 'true', 'kjr.trace.mode': 'LOCAL', 'cnp.publish.url': 'true', 'cnp.window.timeout': '0', 'javax.net.ssl.trustStore': 'jcf.jks' };Add the following line: 'tep.connection.protocol': 'http'
- To enable secure communication using https, substitute https where http is specified for the new parameter.
For the browser client, the valid options are iiop and http. These values instruct the client to use either the CORBA IIOP protocol or the HTTP protocol. The use of the secure HTTPS protocol is determined by the protocol specified in the URL used to connect to the portal server. For example, if you connect to the portal server using a URL that starts with http://, all communication with the server is unencrypted. The following table describes the browser client behavior:
