Definition

This field specifies the protocol (HTTP/HTTPS) or the protocol switch during logon.

Security note: When the user logs on through the HTTP protocol, logon data, user, and password are passed unencrypted.

Use

The following options are available for selecting the protocol:

  • "Do Not Switch": The protocol is not changed when the user logs on. The logon is executed in the protocol in which the ICF system logon was called.
  • "Logon Through HTTPS": The protocol is switched for the duration of the logon on HTTPS in order to pass encrypted logon data. The subsequent application will run in the original protocol.
  • "Switch to HTTPS": The protocol is switched to HTTPS before the user logs on, and remains in HTTPS when the application is running. (The protocol is not switched back to the original).

Dependencies

If SSL (HTTPS) has been activated for this service in the service settings, the setting in the protocol selection at logon is ignored, and the HTTPS protocol is used.

If you want to use "Logon Through HTTPS" or " Switch to HTTPS", make sure that your system is correctly configured for using HTTPS. You can find out whether the system has defined an HTTP or HTTPS port from the sevice display of transaction SMICM (menu Goto -> Services).
