Hello Tod,
>>Is SSL required?
Yes, by design the platform can only be accessed over a http channel.
However, I would think that we are open to having a discussion about having
a build without this restriction.
@ Keith, John
What are your views on this?
>>Here is the error I am getting, in Firefox, when I attempt to launch
Mifos X.
Could you please share your tomcat logs?
Regards,
Vishwas
