You must update the LotusConnections-config.xml with the href and ssl_href values of the components on the HTTP server so that the correct links appear on the Connections UI for all components. To do so, on the deployment manager node, check out the Lotus Connections config file, make the described changes and then check in the file using the wsadmin client as described in the following link:

http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/ltscnnct/v2r0/topic/com.ibm.connections.25.help/t_admin_common_checkout_config_file.html external link

This is a Connections-wide change so the following command is used to check out the file:

LCConfigService.checkOutConfig("C:\temp”,"connectionsCell01")

This file is then checked out to this directory. It is recommended to copy this file and store it as a backup in the C:\IBM\Backups directory. From the C:\temp directory, open the lotusConnections-config.xml with a text editor and make the following changes.

For each component within this file, update the href, ssl_href and interservice href to that of the Web server as shown:

All entries in this file should be updated to the Web server URL with the exception of the three bootstrap entries – two of which should not be modified. The only bootstrap entry that must be modified is that for search. Leave the host and port blank as shown:

The final change that is required in this config file is to find the forceConfidentialCommunications flag and set it to true as shown:

This forces all communications on the Connections server to be over HTTPS. More details on securing can be found in the information center and at this link:

http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/ltscnnct/v2r0/topic/com.ibm.connections.25.help/t_admin_common_forcing_ssl.html

After you have completed editing this file, save it, and check it in again using the wsadmin client. The following command achieves this on the wsadmin client:

LCConfigService.checkInConfig()
