35.1 Enabling a Non-Secure Connection

This section applies only if you want to enable a non-secure (non-SSL) connection between the mobile client and the Cloud Manager Server . A non-secure connection is not recommended in production environments. You should configure your Cloud Manager Server for secure connections in production environments. For more information, see Configuring Cloud Manager Server Connections in the Novell Cloud Manager 1.1 Installation Guide.

To enable a non-secure connection to the Cloud Manager Server:

  1. Make sure the Cloud Manager Server is running. If necessary, see Section 28.0, Starting and Stopping the Cloud Manager Server for instructions.

  2. On the Cloud Manager Server, open the following file in a text editor:

    /etc/opt/novell/cloud-manager/NCMAssembly/core_war/WEB-INF/web.xml

  3. Comment out the <user-data-constraint> section:

    <!--
   <user-data-constraint>
      <description>Secure NCMApi port</description>
      <transport-guarantee>CONFIDENTIAL</transport-guarantee>
   </user-data-constraint>
-->

  4. Run the following command:

    /opt/novell/cloud-manager/write_assemblies

  5. Wait at least 5 minutes for the process to complete.

    You can monitor the process by running the following command. When the process stops producing log messages, it is complete.

    tail -f /var/opt/novell/soaframework10/domains/NovellCloudManager/logs/server.log

  6. Restart the Cloud Manager Server:

    /etc/init.d/novell-soaframework.NovellCloudManager restart
