Send IDoc to On-Premise with HTTPS

Hi,

By the time of this writing, based on the help page for configuring IDoc receiver adapter. It is said that for a connection to on-premise system, to only use http as the url address:

If you select the On-Premise option, the following restrictions apply to other parameter values:

Use HTTP instead of HTTPS when specifying the virtual system url in the Address field.

My understanding is that the usage of http is discouraged for security issues, does this mean the usage of IDoc receiver adapter to an on-premise system is discouraged until https is available?

Thank you.

This is fine because cloud connector communicates with the backend through a secure tunnel and the security of the backend is not compromised even if you are only using http (by the way it is the same for all adapters going via the cloud connector and not just idoc).

Hi,

Thank you for the answer, glad that it is secured between Cloud Connector and the on-premise system. How about the connection between Integration Suite and Cloud Connector?
