Changing to insecure HTTP communication between Process Center and Process Server

If you are using IBM® Business Process Manager V8.5.5, HTTPS is set as the default for communication between the Process Center and the Process Server in both Typical and Custom installations. Follow the procedure below to configure your environment to use insecure HTTP.

• To change to HTTP for the connection from Process Server to Process Center, update processCenterUrl and processCenterInternalUrl configuration properties to point to an insecure HTTP endpoint of Process Center. See Modifying IBM Process Server connection properties.
• To change to HTTP for the connection from Process Center to Process Server, select one of the following options to change the configuration on the Process Server. For more information see Configuring endpoints to match your topology.
  • Use a BPMVirtualHostInfo reference to the HTTP port of the Process Server web server. For example:

    dePath='/Cell:/BPMCellConfigExtension:/BPMDeploymentEnvironment:/'
    de=AdminConfig.getid(dePath)
    ps_insecure_vh=AdminConfig.create('BPMVirtualHostInfo',de,[['name','ps_insecure_ihs'],
        ['transportProtocol','http'],['hostname','psihshostname.domain.com'],
        ['port','80']],'virtualHosts')
    bpmurlsid=AdminConfig.getid(dePath+'BPMURLS:/')
    bpmurllist=AdminConfig.list("BPMURL", bpmurlsid).split()
    AdminConfig.create('BPMURL',bpmurlsid,[['scenario','HEARTBEAT_DESIGNATED_DEPLOYMENT_ENDPOINT'],
        ['strategies','com.ibm.bpm.endpoint.impl.strategies.WCCMConfigStrategy'],['virtualHost',ps_insecure_vh]])
    AdminConfig.save()

  • Use a BPMVirtualHostInfo reference to the HTTP port of the web container of the Process Server for a single cluster member. You can use the same sample script as above, but use the host and port information of a Process Server cluster member's web container, such as 9080.
  • Use the url attribute with the full URL specified in either of the above two options.
  • Use the com.ibm.bpm.endpoint.impl.strategies.CurrentJVMInsecureStrategy strategy attribute. For example:

    wsadmin -lang jython -conntype none -c "AdminConfig.create('BPMURL',AdminConfig.getid
        ('/Cell:/BPMCellConfigExtension:/BPMDeploymentEnvironment:/BPMURLS:/'),[['scenario',
        'HEARTBEAT_DESIGNATED_DEPLOYMENT_ENDPOINT'],
        ['strategies','com.ibm.bpm.endpoint.impl.strategies.CurrentJVMInsecureStrategy']])"

    Note: The syntax of the command must be specified on a single input line.
