Handling the connection protocol when the ES Repository and Integration Directory reside on different servers

  • The connection protocol (HTTP or HTTPS) that you have configured to connect to the Integration Directory also applies while you are connecting to the ES Repository.

  • If the Integration Directory is configured with secure connection (HTTPS), connecting to ES Repository is automatically using HTTPS. But if the ES Repository server is enabled with only HTTP, then the connection fails.

  • If you want to allow unsecured connection to ES Repository while using secure connection for the Integration Directory, deselect the option Do not connect using HTTP if HTTPS is unavailable in the Personalize page under Preferences.
