It is a best practice to try and make your Server site as secure as possible. In fact, starting at the 10.4 release, the default setting for ArcGIS Server's security protocol is HTTP and HTTPS.</P><P></P><P>FYI, <A class="link-titled" href="http://server.arcgis.com/en/server/latest/administer/windows/best-practices-for-configuring-a-secure-environment.htm" title="http://server.arcgis.com/en/server/latest/administer/windows/best-practices-for-configuring-a-secure-environment.htm">Best practices for configuring a secure environment—Documentation (10.4) | ArcGIS for Server</A>&nbsp;</P><P></P><P><A class="link-titled" href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6NR8N31C2wc&amp;list=PLaPDDLTCmy4bn62KhEV6s6NcbIfOjkoYw&amp;index=2" title="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6NR8N31C2wc&amp;list=PLaPDDLTCmy4bn62KhEV6s6NcbIfOjkoYw&amp;index=2">UC 2016 Tech Session video: Web GIS: Server and Online: ArcGIS for Server Security: An Introduction - YouTube</A>&nbsp;</P><P></P><P>Hope this helps,</P></BODY></HTML> Fri, 28 Oct 2016 20:38:31 GMT https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-enterprise-questions/should-we-change-the-server-from-http-to-https/m-p/340652#M13081 DerekLaw 2016-10-28T20:38:31Z
