Configuring web server security

For security reasons, the portal search seedlist by default redirects to HTTPs. Therefore, you need to configure your web server for HTTPs.

For information about how to do this, go to the Installing section of the HCL Digital Experience (DX) documentation. Select the appropriate operating system for your installation, and then the subsection for a stand-alone or clustered environment. Then, select the topic about Preparing a remote Web server.

If you do not want to provide HTTPs security for your portal search seedlist, you can configure portal search to use HTTP only. To do this, run the configuration task action-modify-servlet-transport-guarantee-none-wp.search.servlets/seedlist/servletEAR. Use the following syntax, depending on your environment:

  • AIX

    ./ConfigEngine.sh action-modify-servlet-transport-guarantee-none-wp.search.servlets/seedlist/servletEAR -DPortalAdminPwd=password -DWasPassword=password

  • Linux

    ./ConfigEngine.sh action-modify-servlet-transport-guarantee-none-wp.search.servlets/seedlist/servletEAR -DPortalAdminPwd=password -DWasPassword=password

  • Windows

    ConfigEngine.bat action-modify-servlet-transport-guarantee-none-wp.search.servlets/seedlist/servletEAR -DPortalAdminPwd=password -DWasPassword=password

For your updates to take effect, restart your portal server.
