Is it possible to support users using both HTTP and HTTPS?

[Gene]

I have Cognos environment set up to serve corporate intranet users using HTTP protocol.

However now I have a requirement to be able to support HTTPS as well (in order to run Cognos reports via IBM Watson Analytics).

I don't want to inconvenience hundreds of existing users asking them to change to HTTPS, so ideally I would like to enable my existing Cognos environment to keep support for HTTP while also allowing HTTPS.

Is that technically possible?  If yes, is there a cookbook for configuration?

Thanks in advance,

Gene

Are you mostly worried about the users' bookmarks/favorites, links to your site, etc.? If that is your concern, you can pretty easily redirect anyone who tries to use the http URL over to the https URL. In the long run, I think that is a better solution for everyone.

Yes it's possible, both will work.
For these type of tasks their is no Cook books.

Hi Gene,

There is something called redirect in IIS which will redirect the http requests to https. If you don't want re direction just allow port 80 and 443.
