You must decide whether to use Secure Sockets Layer security (SSL) and if you do use SSL, decide whether to use redirection or full SSL.
If you configure SSL for IBM® Enterprise Records, you must use the same mode as the mode used by Application Engine, Workplace XT, or IBM Content Navigator.
If you are planning on SSL for IBM Content Navigator, refer to the Planning for Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) topic in the IBM Content Navigator documentation.
The option not to use SSL is provided primarily for development systems or other nonproduction systems where the security provided by SSL might not be required.
