    1. For clients that specifically want to use HTTP traffic, use the following format

      1. http://IPADDRESS:HTTPPORT/ExecuTime/services/SimpleClockInterface

    2. For any other clients using HTTPS traffic, use the following format

      1. https://DOMAINNAME:HTTPSPORT/ExecuTime/services/SimpleClockInterface

    1. System Admin > UI Environment Flags > Timeclock Configuration > Timeclock Configuration HTTP

  10. If using a hostname, the HTTPS port or the HTTP port can be used

    1. Hostname is the FQDN used to access the application, i.e., myexecutime.tylertech
