Using SSL

By default, process notification does not use the Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) protocol. The email notification files reference the web server (that is specified for the web application), and include links similar to following link:

http://<$F_WEBSERVER>/idmws/...

If you enable SSL on your web server, you must modify the http:// protocol designation to https:// for all occurrences of the files you are referencing. For example, all references to a web server would appear similar to the following format:

https://<$F_WEBSERVER>/idmws/...

For information on specifying web application properties for SSL, see Setting web application properties for the workflow system.
