need help with https configuration

[Anonymous]

QDX 5.3P on Windows 2003

The site to connect to is an https server listening on port 10443, no proxy. It uses only a user name and password for authentication. But the messages between Quovadx and this site should be coded so an https connection is required by the customer. The site does not require any certificate nor private key, there is no password for the private key.

In QDX using https (client mode) one  has to configure

– a certification file

– a private key file, and

– a password.

Although the site does not need them I enter the certification file path/name and the private key file (incl. path. But it seems Quovadx does not get any connection to the https server.

So my questions are:

(1) Is it possible to omitt the usage of the parameters:

– certification file

– private key file

– password?

(2) When using mode ClientAnon, I get a simular result. Is  mode client the right one (if I don’t want to enter the 3 parameters mentioned above)?

(3) Is the url entered correctly with the port?

(4) What else is wrong here?

The https server is an Apache server residing on the same host.

Here an excerpt from the log file.
