Web Service properties

Web Service properties related to SSL:

Http Port indicates the port number for standard Http communication. The default is 80.

Http Enabled, when set to true, turns on a standard Http connection (no SSL security) using port 80. When set to false, turns off the standard Http connection causing attempts to connect using Http port 80 to be ignored.

Https Port indicates the port number for secure Http communication. The default is 443.

Https Enabled, when set to true, turns on secure Http communication using port 443. When set to false, turns off the secure Https connection causing attempts to connect using Https port 443 to be ignored.

Https only when set to true redirects any attempt to connect using a connection that is not secure (Http alone) to Https. When set to false, does not redirect attempts to connect using Http alone.

NoteTo ensure secure communication, set Http Enabled to false and Https Enabled to true. In this configuration, how you set Https Only does not matter because no redirection is required.During the transition to a secure network, a station may need to continue to accommodate Web Service communication that is not secure (it may take time to change all old port number pointers in the system). If you set all three properties: Http Enabled, Https Enabled, and Https Only to true, the station will continue to respond on port 80 (not secure) and redirect the communication to the secure connection. Later you can return and set Http Enabled to false.If you set Http Enabled to false, you must also set Fox Enabled to false.

Https Min Protocol selects the security protocol. The default is to use both standard protocols (SSLv3+TLSv1). During the handshake, the server and client agree on which protocol to use. It may be one or the other.

Https Cert allows you to select a unique certificate for Https only.
