Description
The Web Services connector is a generic protocol based connector. We are aware that you are providing the endpoint URLs (Base URL) based on the last mile application and it depends on the APIs provided by the governed system. However, it is recommended to use “https” rather than “http”.
For example:
Although we’re confident you’re familiar with the differences, we want to remind you that HTTP and HTTPS are communication protocols that differ in many ways, the most significant being security. HTTPS is more secure because it is both encrypted and authenticated.
Taking these factors into account, SailPoint recommends using “https” protocol in the Web Services connector.
