 From what I see in PF's code [1], https is hard-coded for 
`activation_uri`. In your situation, you have two solutions:
1. generate a HTTP SSL certificate with Let's Encrypt
2. edit email template in connection profile to replace `activation_uri` 
by your HTTP URL.

I recommend 1. because you will have other issues if you don't have a 
correct certificate.
