Use Secure Mode (HTTPS)

Enables the security mode.

Electronic Service Agent Connection Manager can operate in one of two modes, secure mode and non-secure mode.

Secure mode:
If secure mode is enabled, an HTTPS secure mode URL must be specified for the Call Controller setting for Connection Manager. For example,
https://9.60.92.202:1198
Typically, a secure mode URL is specified if the network connection between the POWER4 clients and this HMCs Electronic Service Agent Connection Manager transmits across networks where user machines are connected.
Non-secure mode:
In non-secure mode, simple HTTP connections are made from the POWER4 clients to this HMCs Electronic Service Agent Connection Manager with no security provisions in place. For example,
http://9.60.92.202:1198
Typically, non-secure mode is adequate for running applications inside a firewall or in a closed network.
