EFA Installation Modes

You can install EFA in secure mode or non-secure (standard) mode.

You can choose one of these modes when you install EFA:

Secure mode: Traffic to EFA uses the HTTPS protocol. All non-HTTP requests are redirected to the secure port. Traffic out of EFA (toward northbound interfaces) uses TLS.
Standard mode: Traffic to EFA uses the HTTP protocol. Traffic toward northbound interfaces also uses HTTP.

You cannot change a secure installation to a standard installation. Nor can you change a standard installation to a secure installation.

Note

Upgrade from secure mode to standard mode is not a supported path.
