Enabling unsecured HTTP connections

By default, Lawson Security does not allow unsecured (HTTP) connections on the server. As a result, Infor Lawson Add-Ins for Microsoft Office (MOA) can connect only to servers that use a secure (HTTPS) connection.

To bypass this behavior, complete these steps:

  1. Ensure that all Excel applications are closed.
  2. Navigate to the installation directory <INSTALLDIR>. By default, the directory is C:\Program Files\Lawson Software\Office Add-ins\
  3. Create a backup of the LawsonHttpClient.config file.
  4. Open the LawsonHttpClient.config file using a text editor.
  5. Add this line: <EnableUnsecuredHttpConnection>true</EnableUnsecuredHttpConnection>
  6. Save the file.
    To restore the default behavior, remove the added line or set the value to false.
    Note: You must have elevated privileges to save the modified configuration file.
