Customizing the SSL connection for a command-line client
About this task
HCL Workload Automation command-line clients connect to the connector through HTTP or HTTPS. The default connection type is HTTPS. If the command-line connects through a proxy, use the HTTP connection protocol as HTTPS is not supported for this type of configuration.
You configure the connection protocol
as described in Configuring command-line client access authentication.
If you have previously not been using SSL for the command line client access,
you will need to change at least the following parameters:
- proxy
- Specify the IP address or the server name for the proxy server.
- proxy port
- Specify the listening port of the proxy server.
- protocol
- Specify the protocol type as HTTP or HTTPS.
- port
- Specify the port required by the protocol you set in the protocol option. The default is 31115 for HTTP and 31116 for HTTPS.

additional security features:
- Data encryption between the command-line utility and the connector
- Optional server authentication by validating the server certificates
You can activate optional server authentication in one
of the following ways:
