Communication

All communication is done over HTTP/HTTPS, which makes it possible to run Infor Smart Office over the Internet. Some of the communication requires HTTPS, others can use either HTTP or HTTPS or a combination of both. The reason for requiring HTTPS on all web service calls is that the .Net Windows Communication Foundation does not allow credentials to be sent over HTTP. It forces the communication between the Infor Smart Office framework and server to be configured in a secure way.

This table shows the protocols used by each application in Infor Smart Office:

Application	Supported protocols
MForms	Three options: HTTP only HTTPS only HTTPS for logon only, HTTP for all other communication (recommended)
Infor Document Management	Three options: HTTP only HTTPS only HTTPS for logon only, HTTP for all other communication (recommended)
Lawson Enterprise Applications	HTTP HTTPS
Infor Process Automation	HTTP HTTPS
Infor Business Intelligence for Lawson	HTTP HTTPS

All communication settings are located in the Profile Editor tool. See About system profiles.
