Configuring SmarTeam Connector Using HTTPS

This task provides useful information regarding configuration using HTTPS.

The SmarTeam connector enables users to access a SmarTeam server using HTTPS (Hypertext Transfer Protocol over Secure Socket Layer, or HTTP over SSL). By default, the protocol used to access a SmarTeam server is HTTP. HTTPS is a more secure solution that is also supported.

  1. The https protocol must be explicitly specified in the connection parameters (e.g. https://servername). Otherwise, the default http protocol will be used.
  2. SmarTeam Connector product supports the following specifications:

    • Server names: Only if the server supports HTTP and the server name can be resolved
    • Server IP only if your server supports HTTP, such as:
      • http://servername
      • http://serverIP
      • https://servername
      • https://serverIP

  3. SmarTeam server should be configured to work with HTTPS.

    Note: If the server side is configured to support HTTPS, then the end-user only needs to specify https:// in the server URL field.
