Enabling a Non-Encrypted Endpoint of the Web service

Use the following steps to open a non-encrypted endpoint of the Cisco Process Orchestrator Web service.

To open a non-encrypted endpoint:

Step 1

On the Cisco Process Orchestrator Console, choose File > Environment Properties. The
Environment Properties dialog box displays.

Step 2

Click the Web Service tab to continue.

Figure 2:

Environment Properties Dialog Box—Web Service Tab

Step 3

Check the Enable non-secure Web service (HTTP) check box to unencrypt the HTTP endpoints.

Step 4

Click OK to continue.

Step 5

Complete the following fields, as necessary.

Field

Description

HTTP port

Enter or verify the secure HTTP port for the Web service. (Default: 61527)

HTTP authentication
mechanism

Choose the appropriate authentication for the Web service.

Basic—sends a username and password as the method of authentication.
It's the simplest method of authentication, but the least secure.

Digest—sends cryptographic representation of the password rather than
the password itself. This authentication method is more secure than
basic authentication.

Ntlm—authentication protocol used on networks that include systems
running on the Windows operating system. This option can be used to
return to the normal mode of operation.

Step 6

Click OK to save the settings.

All transmissions through the chosen NonsecuredHttpPort are unencrypted. Communications over the
SSL-enabled ports (and between the server and Console) will all be unaffected by this setting.
