You have to enable https connector on the server. You need to:

1/ have a keystore/truststore with certificate (either real cert or you can
create one on your own (you can actually use the one in integration-tests )

2/ you need to enable https on the server - here is how we do that using jboss
cli -
https://github.com/aerogear/aerogear-unifiedpush-server-integration-tests/blob/master/setup/enable_https.cli

3/ beware, by default https uses port 8443 instead of 8080

4/ if you are using own certificate, likely you'd need to alter Postman
configuration somehow (no experience here). We are using RESTAssured instead of
curl and it works fine.
