Software AG recommends disabling the HTTP port in a production environment, because it does not provide protection when sending sensitive information over the network. You can configure Command Central to communicate over SSL (using an HTTPs port) to ensure a secure session when communicating with the Platform Manager server, the CLI client, and browsers.

The default HTTPs ports of Command Central and Platform Manager point to the default keystore and truststore that are available after installing Command Central. The default keystore and truststore files contain keys and certificates that prove the identity of the Command Central server, Platform Manager server, and the CLI client. They also encrypt sensitive data send during the secure session. Software AG strongly recommends that you replace the default keystore and trustore files with custom ones, created specifically for your organization.
