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 inoadmin to change the communication method setting as follows:
inoadmin setproperty CentraSite "communication method" "HTTP and HTTPS" restart
The inoadmin program is available under the location <SuiteInstallDir>/CentraSite/bin.
To change the SSL communication between CAST and CRR, use a command of the following format:
CentraSiteCommand set SSL usage -user <USER-ID> -password <PASSWORD>
-value <http/https>
Input Parameters
The following table describes the complete set of input parameters that you can use with the set SSL usage utility:
