HTTPS Configuration for the GPM

The SSL enhancement reduces security risks, but you must configure the GPM to communicate with the dashboard web application by using HTTPS instead of HTTP.

Secure HTTP access via SSL is already supported for most web applications in Sterling B2B Integrator on the base HTTP port + 1. This SSL enhancement:

  • Enables HTTPS (HTTP w/ SSL encryption) for the Graphical Process Modeler (GPM)
  • Enables disabling and redirection of web applications on the base HTTP port to another port (using HTTPS)
  • Supports secure access to web applications by deploying the web applications on a secure HTTP Server Adapter instance
  • Reduces security risks

If you use this feature, you will need to configure the Graphical Process Modeler (GPM) to communicate with the dashboard web application using HTTPS instead of HTTP. Access to web applications deployed via a secure HTTP Server Adapter may be slower than when accessed on the base port.
