Issue/Introduction

BY default, CA CCS Tomcat 8 use HTTPS, how can I edit server.xml to disable HTTPS and use HTTP ? 

 

Environment

Release : 18.0

Component : CCS APACHE TOMCAT

Resolution

Step 1: 

To use default connector port 8080 and shutdown port 8005 for HTTP, no editing required. 

• Back up $ENDEVOR_TOMCAT_INSTANCE/conf/server.xml (rename it to server.xml.org)
• Rename server.xml.unsecure to server.xml

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

To use different port number for server.xml, follow step 1 instruction, then edit server.xml to use the value specified in ENWSInstallOptions.properties (for example, use shutdown port 1805 and connector port 1811). 

TOMCAT_PORT=1811
TOMCAT_SHUT_PORT=1805

Type 3.17 in ISPF and navigate to the USS directory for Endevor Tomcat. 

Locate server.xml and type ea on the left side command line of server.xml

Once in edit mode, search for port, uncomment HTTP connector and comment out SSL configuration, then update the port number (in this example, shutdown port is using 1805, HTTP port is using 1811, and SSL configuration on port 8443 has been comment out - disabled)
