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.

About this task

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

Procedure

  1. If you have a stand-alone server, run one of the following commands from the For Linux operating systemFor UNIX operating systemstandalone_profile/bin/wsadmin.sh or For Windows operating systemstandalone_profile\bin\wsadmin.bat directory on the server:
    • To allow only HTTPS connections to Process Portal, enter the following command:
      wsadmin -user user_name -password password 
              -f install_root/BusinessSpace/scripts/configBSpaceTransport.py -httpsonly
    • To allow HTTP connections to Process Portal, enter the following command:
      wsadmin -user user_name -password password 
              -f install_root/BusinessSpace/scripts/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.
  2. If you have a network deployment environment, run one of the following commands from the For Linux operating systemFor UNIX operating systemdmgr_profile/bin/wsadmin.sh or For Windows operating systemdmgr_profile\bin\wsadmin.bat directory on the server:
    • To allow only HTTPS connections to Process Portal, enter the following command:
      wsadmin -user user_name -password password 
              -f install_root/BusinessSpace/scripts/configBSpaceTransport.py -httpsonly 
              -clusterName application_cluster
    • To allow HTTP connections to Process Portal, enter the following command:
      wsadmin -user user_name -password password 
              -f install_root/BusinessSpace/scripts/configBSpaceTransport.py -allowhttp 
              -clusterName application_cluster

    Where application_cluster is the application cluster of your IBM® Business Process Manager deployment environment.
