In Eclipse, how do you create an AEM Server with an https port connection?

Hello,

In Eclipse, I'm able to create a Server that connects to the HTTP port that my AEM instance is running on (4502), but selecting the HTTPS port (4504) gives me this error message: "No repository found at http://localhost:4504".  As you can see in the error message, it's trying to connect over HTTP instead of HTTPS.  I have verified that my instance definitely is available over HTTPS on port 4504 (via browser connection).  Where in my Eclipse Server configuration should I specify that I want to connect via HTTPS?  I would prefer to transfer all information over an encrypted connection.

Thank you.

Never heard back from the team. I am assuming this is not supported as there is no mention of it in the docs or any of the training material

If you are in your DEV environment that is secure with a Firewall, etc. why is communicating to your AEM instance via HTTP - which can even be on the same machine - a concern.

I personally have ever seen it work on HTTP. Not sure if it supports HTTPS. I will ask internally.

Although we are currently connecting internally in a DEV environment, we also wish to connect to non-local instances over HTTPS.  This example was just a first attempt with a local DEV instance.  Thank you for checking on this.

Hi @smacdonald2008.  Just wanted to follow up to see if you were able to find anything by asking internally.  Thanks!
