The Foglight Management Server (FMS) remote access can be controlled to use only HTTPS protocol using the parameter "HTTPSONLY" in the server.config file. This can be achieved by following the below steps:
server.console.httpsonly = "true";
NOTE: The Foglight Management Server uses the HTTP port for local access even if you are accessing the browser interface through an HTTPS connection. If that is the case, both ports are open: the HTTPS port for external requests coming from the browser interface and the HTTP port for local requests. For example, the reporting service accesses the Foglight Management Server through the HTTP port while external requests use HTTPS. You must configure your firewall or network security applications to allow both ports to remain open. FMS 5.7.x are embedded with Apache Tomcat component locally, replacing the JBoss component, which requires HTTP (8080) access to the FMS.
