Allowing HTTP Communication Between CAST and CRR
It is possible to change the communication between CAST and CRR from full 2-way SSL (HTTPS) communication to HTTP communication.
Caution:  
Software AG strongly advises you to use 2-way SSL at all times for this communication. If you intend to use HTTP rather than HTTPS communication, please consider carefully that using HTTP communication raises a potential security risk.
Some internal communication between CAST and CRR must always use SSL, therefore you cannot switch off HTTPS altogether.
Before you change the SSL communication between CAST and CRR, make sure you use the inoadmin command to change the communication method setting as follows:
inoadmin setproperty CentraSite "communication method" "HTTP and HTTPS" restart
The inoadmin program is available in the directory <CentraSiteInstallDir>/bin.
Use the set SSL usage command to change the SSL communication between CAST and CRR.
The syntax for the command is:
C:\SoftwareAG\CentraSite\utilities>CentraSiteCommand.cmd set SSL usage -user <USER-ID> -password <PASSWORD> -value <http/https>
The input parameters are:
Parameter
Description
-user
The user ID of a registered CentraSite user. For example, a user who has the CentraSite Administrator role.
-password
The password for the registered CentraSite user identified by the parameter -user.
-value
The values of either "http" or "https" to allow HTTP/HTTPS communication between AST and RR.
Example:
C:\SoftwareAG\CentraSite\utilities>CentraSiteCommand.cmd set SSL usage -user Administrator -password manage -value http
The response to this command could be:
Executing the command : set SSL usage
Successfully executed the command : set SSL usage
