How to enable HTTPS option for existing RAM
Hi,
We have a RAM setup using WAS and DB2 using default options.
LDAP is configured on WAS and users can login using their AD account.
Now there aroused a requirement for implementing HTTPS option.
Note: Currently RAM is accessed using URL - http://<hostname>:9080/ram/home.faces.
Requirement is to have Secured option enabled so that URL can be accessed via - https://<hostname>:9080/ram/home.faces
Referenced the below article online and doesnt seem to have enough information.

One answer
If you can access RAM via https://<hostname>:9443/ram/home.faces, then you already have HTTPS enabled (which is by default anyway).
If you want to access RAM via https://<hostname>:9080/ram/home.faces, you will have to change the HTTPS port of the WAS profile to 9080. And you have to change the HTTP port to something different to 9080 first, otherwise you will have port confict. This setting looks a bit strange to me but you can do it if you want.

(Don't worry about the RQM bit, the steps are the same)
