HTTP/HTTPS: Select an HTTP or HTTPS binding for the Tricentis Tosca Server features.
If you want to protect your transferred user data, create an HTTPS binding with a valid signed certificate in the IIS Certificate Store after you have installed Tosca Server (see chapter "Use Tosca Server with an HTTPS binding").
-
Port: The default port is 80 for HTTP bindings , and 443 for HTTPS bindings.
You can specify a different port. The port must be a value between 1 and 65535.
