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.
