Using SCLI in non-secure mode
If VxFlex OS is running in non-secure mode, you must disable secure communications
on every MDM server to enable execution of commands.

To disable secure communications in Windows, on each MDM open the SCLI
conf.txt
file, and add the following line:
cli_use_secure_communication=0
l
To disable secure communications in Linux, run the following on each MDM:
echo cli_use_secure_communication=0 >> ~/.scli/conf.txt
Note: For more information on how to set up secure or non-secure mode, see the
VxFlex OS User Guide .
Note: After renewing certificates, changing from secure mode to non-secure
mode is not supported.
