HTTPS Ports for SSL Connections

You may want to secure requests to the SAML Affiliate Agent using SSL connections.

The HTTPSPorts parameter specifies the secure ports the SAML Affiliate Agent listens on if you are using an SSL connection to the web server where the Agent is installed. If you specify a value for this parameter, you must include all the ports for all the web servers that serve secure requests. If you do not specify a value, the Agent reads the HTTP scheme from the web server's context.

If a server is behind an SSL accelerator (which converts HTTPS to HTTP), the requests are treated as SSL connections by your browser.

To define your HTTPS ports, set the value of the HTTPSPorts parameter to the port numbers that use SSL. Use commas to separate multiple port numbers.

Example (single port)

HTTPSPorts="80"

Example (multiple ports)

HTTPSPorts="223, 224"

In the file, it should be entered as an attribute in the GlobalInfo tag, as follows:

<GlobalInfo HTTPWrapSpec="RFC-2047" LegacyVariables="no"
AllowCacheHeaders="no" GetPortFromHeaders="no"
EnableOtherAuthTrans="no" HTTPHeaderEncodingSpec="UTF-8"
HTTPSPorts="80">
