Specifying Whether to Use HTTP

By default, the Agent and Vault communicate via HTTP protocol. Clearing the Always Use HTTP Protocol check box causes the client to use a proprietary WAFS protocol. The advantage of using HTTP is that some firewalls allow HTTP, but will not allow proprietary protocols to pass through. In this case, HTTP protocol is recommended.

To specify whether the WAFS Agent should use HTTP

1. Open the WAFS Agent Manager and click the Agent in the tree for which you want to delay the upload of file changes.

2. On the main menu, click Tools > Options. The Options dialog box appears.

   

3. Expand the Setup and Preferences node, then click Agent Configuration.

4. Do one of the following:

   • To use WAFS' proprietary protocol, clear the Always Use HTTP Protocol check box.

5. Click OK to save the changes.
