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

[Eric_4]

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.

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!

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
