Hello,


Is it possible to connect Velixo to a local instance of Acumatica?  I believe it is but I get weird results.


Firstly, the Connection Manager is auto replacing http://localhost/ with https://localhost/ but my local server is not https so I then get an error message "That doesn't look like a valid Acumatica website; to troubleshoot, try opening that address in a browser".  I of course am able to open the site without using secured http in my browser so not sure why Velixo won't allow http for a local server?


Any help would be appreciated.


Thanks,


Brian

Hi Brian.


Yes, it is possible.  It sounds like you are using Velixo NX - which requires a secure connection.


If you are using Excel for Windows and it is absolutely necessary to use a non-secure connection, Velixo Classic can be used to do this.


Note:  you may be able to use something such as LetsEncrypt to add HTTPS to your localhost.

Thanks very much for your help.  Quite informative.  I had previously found on the Acumatica community a script to update a local instance to https but I found that 3rd parties still did not recognize it as https.  I'll switch to classic but will also look at LetsEncrypt.
