How to enable or disable insecure access (WS and HTTP as opposed to secure WSS and HTTPS)

Enable or disable insecure access (WS and HTTP as opposed to secure WSS and HTTPS).
You may want to enable it if self-signed certificates used on controller are not supported in your client software. Current status can be found using hub.info.get request.

  • All methods are available over insecure if insecure is enabled (also all methods are available without authentication if anonymous access is enabled).
  • Unless insecure/anonymous access is enabled, you have to use either apitool or secure connection with authentication.
  • Unless insecure/anonymous access is enabled, hub.info.get is the only request that is allowed without authentication.
