How can you confirm if the cube communicates to the Dataminer using HTTPS other than a Wireshark capture? Are there any indicators within the cube application to show this? Is it normal for me to see POSTS in HTTP?

Hi Phillip,
In your version 10.1, the Cube communicates towards the DataMiner Agent via .Net Remoting (http traffic over TCP/8004 > cfr http posts in your question). In later versions, we support gRPC Communication (https) (ConnectionSettings.txt | DataMiner Docs).
The IP Communication from client to server is also nicely illustrated in Configuring the IP network ports | DataMiner Docs, both for GRPC and .Net Remoting. Hope this helps.
