Plastic SCM: ability to allow unencrypted connection to webadmin from remote hosts

Unity Services

As mentioned in the old Plastic SCM forums, it isn’t possible to connect via HTTP to webadmin console from anywhere but localhost:

  • Port WebAdminToolPort (by default 7178) listens ONLY through HTTP, and attends only requests from localhost. This cannot be changed, and it works this way to prevent security issues.

That complicates the scenario when I want to test Plastic SCM, and security isn’t my current concern.
Could the Plastic SCM maintainer please change that and provide a way to allow HTTP connection from remote hosts?

Hi,

it’s true that when connecting via remote host you are forced to use https instead of http, but why this is a problem in your environment?
