As it goes these days, there is of course Therefore mobile app for iOS, Android and Windows Phone.
However, out of box – default Therefore mobile service requires SSL to run.

Here you can find a quick note how to run SSL-less Therefore mobile service.

First, you need to find TheMobileManager.exe.config configuration file, usually placed in C:\Program Files\Therefore directory:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<configuration>
  <appSettings>
    <!--uncomment this line to enable http-->
    <!--<add key="HttpEnabled" value="true" />-->
    
    <!--uncomment these lines in case of multi-tenant system-->
    <!--<add key="CacheCleanUpTime" value="30"/>
    <add key="CacheLocation" value="LocalTempFolder"/>
    <add key="WebServicePort" value="443"/>-->
        
  </appSettings>
</configuration>

 

Second, uncomment line 5 to enable http for the service:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<configuration>
  <appSettings>
    <!--uncomment this line to enable http-->
    <add key="HttpEnabled" value="true" />
    
    <!--uncomment these lines in case of multi-tenant system-->
    <!--<add key="CacheCleanUpTime" value="30"/>
    <add key="CacheLocation" value="LocalTempFolder"/>
    <add key="WebServicePort" value="443"/>-->
        
  </appSettings>
</configuration>

Finally, you only need to restart Therefore Mobile service and you are ready to go mobile without SSL.
