  11. Select the Communication options (HTTP or HTTPS):

    • For HTTP (Deprecated) and HTTPS (Recommended) options allow you to enable either unsecured or secured communication. For security and privacy reasons, it is highly recommended that you use HTTPS to ensure that your website data remains safe and protected during transmission over the Internet.

      Warning!! The Velocity 3.8.6 release has already deprecated HTTP, and from Velocity v3.9, HTTP communication will be removed from the installer.

      • For HTTP (Deprecated) communication, the Service Configuration port 2026 is the default port number and communication channel. You can change this port number if necessary.

    • In the IIS Configuration option:

      1. Use Forms Authentication (Recommended) allows users to authenticate by providing their username and password credentials through a web form

      2. Use Windows Authentication allows users to authenticate automatically based on their Windows credentials without entering a username and password separately

    • Click Next.

  12. Proceed to Step -13 for the installation to be completed

    • For HTTPS (Recommended) communication, the SSL certificate option is enabled. This option allows you to select an existing SSL certificate configured for server authentication from your Personal or Web Hosting certificate store.
