By default, the HTTP protocol is activated in the load balancer. If you want to use the secure HTTPS protocol instead of the HTTP protocol, you can create a valid certificate for HTTPS support of the load balancer.
The PPM Operation Guide describes how to create a valid certificate for HTTPS support of the load balancer.
Using the HTTPS protocol for the load balancer secures all communication between the PPM front-end and the PPM server. The PPM Operation Guide describes how to encrypt RMI data communication between the PPM server components.
After you have created a valid certificate for HTTPS, you only need to change the URL for starting the PPM front-end as follows.
https://<loadbalancer>:<loadbalancer-https-port>/ppm/html
Example
https://localhost:4443/ppm/html
