WAB 2.2 (Dev) Forces HTTPS

PatrickMcKinney1 — Thu, 03 Nov 2016 17:22:51 GMT

I started developing an application using the 2.2 version of WebApp Builder Developer Edition. I had been using version 2.0.

In both the local environment and when deployed to a live server, the app is forcing HTTPS. Is there a way to change individual apps or WAB in general to not force HTTPS?

Thanks,

Patrick

Patrick,

I am using 2.2 and it is not forcing https. Did you accidentally use https in the url when you entered your postal address in the very beginning?

I'm not exactly sure what you mean by "in the very beginning."

If I view the site using http, it switches to https. This occurs both on a live server and the local dev environment.

Patrick,

When you first installed WAB and launched it for the first time it asked you for the url to your portal. If you supplied a url that use the https protocol then from that point forward the app will force the use of https. To fix this close WAB and go to you [install dir]/server/ folder and delete the signininfo.json file and re-launch WAB and this time provide a http url.

The issue appeared to be related to my importing the app from AGOL. Whenever I created a brand new app, it didn't force HTTPS.

Thanks again for the help.
