Ability to remove TLS requirement for the Domino IQ - Remote Mode

Many customers are attempting to run Domino IQ on their own platforms. However, building a GPU-enabled server specifically for Domino IQ development or proof of concept (POC) is often impractical. While using a cloud-based large language model (LLM) is an option, most customers are hesitant to do so due to privacy concerns.

In most cases, the most effective solution is to run a local Ollama server. MacBooks, for example, have capable GPUs that can handle low-end chat models, which are sufficient for development and POC purposes. However, Domino IQ requires TLS, and Ollama does not support TLS natively. So developers need additional configuration, such as setting up a reverse proxy.

If the Domino IQ team could provide a configuration parameter to disable the TLS requirement in remote mode, it would greatly simplify development, demo, and POC workflows.

      There is a test only notes.ini variable to disable TLS, which has been published thru the Early Access Forum after this was raised in the forum referncing this idea.

      The following parameter should be only used when the LLM runs locally like with Ollama or the Docker Desktop model runner. For a remote server you should always enable TLS. For example offloading TLS via NGINX in front of the server.
