Configuring the Presentation Server for non-secure (HTTP) mode

By default, the TrueSight Presentation Server uses the secure mode (HTTPS) mode for access.

To configure the TrueSight Presentation Server for non-secure (HTTP) mode, perform the following steps:

1. In a text editor, edit the <Presentation Server installation directory>\truesightpserver\modules\tomcat\conf\web.xml file.

   1. Comment out the security-constraint section so that it reads as follows:

      <!--

      <security-constraint>

              <web-resource-collection>

                  <web-resource-name>Secure context</web-resource-name>

                  <url-pattern>/*</url-pattern>

                  </web-resource-collection>

                  

                  <user-data-constraint>

                  <transport-guarantee>CONFIDENTIAL</transport-guarantee>

                  </user-data-constraint>

          </security-constraint>

      -->
2. In a text editor, edit the <Presentation Server installation directory>\truesightpserver\modules\tomcat\conf\server.xml file.

   1. Modify the following line:

      <Connector connectionTimeout="20000" enableLookups="false" port="80" protocol="HTTP/1.1" redirectPort="443"/>

      Then, remove the redirectPort information and copy the compressableMimeType, compression, and compressionMinSize property information from the HTTPS connector so that it reads as follows:

      <Connector connectionTimeout="20000" enableLookups="false" port="80" protocol="HTTP/1.1"compressableMimeType="text/html,text/xml,text/plain,text/css,text/javascript,application/javascript,application/json" compression="on" compressionMinSize="1024" />
      

      Note

      The default port for Windows is 80 and Linux is 8080. If you specified a custom port during installation, enter that port number instead.

   2. Comment out the following line so that it reads as follows:

      <!-- <Connector SSLEnabled="true" ciphers="TLS_ECDHE_RSA_WITH_AES_128_GCM_SHA256,TLS_ECDHE_ECDSA_WITH_AES_128_GCM_SHA256,
      TLS_ECDHE_RSA_WITH_AES_256_GCM_SHA384,TLS_ECDHE_ECDSA_WITH_AES_256_GCM_SHA384,TLS_DHE_RSA_WITH_AES_128_GCM_SHA256,
      TLS_DHE_DSS_WITH_AES_128_GCM_SHA256,TLS_ECDHE_RSA_WITH_AES_128_SHA256,TLS_ECDHE_ECDSA_WITH_AES_128_SHA256,
      TLS_ECDHE_RSA_WITH_AES_128_SHA,TLS_ECDHE_ECDSA_WITH_AES_128_SHA,TLS_ECDHE_RSA_WITH_AES_256_SHA384,
      TLS_ECDHE_ECDSA_WITH_AES_256_SHA384,TLS_ECDHE_RSA_WITH_AES_256_SHA,TLS_ECDHE_ECDSA_WITH_AES_256_SHA,
      TLS_DHE_RSA_WITH_AES_128_SHA256,TLS_DHE_RSA_WITH_AES_128_SHA,TLS_DHE_DSS_WITH_AES_128_SHA256,
      TLS_DHE_RSA_WITH_AES_256_SHA256,TLS_DHE_DSS_WITH_AES_256_SHA,TLS_DHE_RSA_WITH_AES_256_SHA" 
      clientAuth="false" compressableMimeType="text/html,text/xml,text/plain,text/css,text/javascript,application/javascript,application/json" compression="on" compressionMinSize="1024" keystoreFile="C:/Program Files/BMC Software/TrueSightPServer/truesightpserver/conf/secure/loginvault.ks" keystorePass="changeit" maxThreads="150" port="4435" protocol="org.apache.coyote.http11.Http11NioProtocol" scheme="https" secure="true" sslProtocol="TLSv1.2" useServerCipherSuitesOrder="true"/> 
      -->

       

3. From the <Presentation Server installation directory>\truesightpserver\truesightpserver\bin folder, use a command prompt to run the following command:

   tssh properties set tspsPreferredWebServiceProtocol http

    

4. If you want to use the TrueSight console to deploy and install packages on a PATROL Agent, from the <Presentation Server installation directory>\truesightpserver\truesightpserver\bin folder, use a command prompt to run the following command:

   tssh properties set server.port.websrv.protocol http
5. Restart the TrueSight Presentation Server. 

1. On each Infrastructure Management server connected to the TrueSight Presentation Server, add the following property to the <Infrastructure Management installation directory>\pw\custom\conf\pronet.conf file:
   tsps.tsim.http.enabled=true
2. Restart each Infrastructure Management server that you changed.
