Configuring Access to the Application Server Through Secure HTTP

Before you configure access to the application server through HTTPS, obtain a digital security certificate on the system.

To make the application server accessible through HTTPS:

  1. From configuration mode, access the statement that configures access through HTTPS.
    user@host# edit slot 0 application-server web https
  2. Specify which TCP port is to receive incoming connection requests for the application server.
    [edit slot 0 application-server web https]
    user@host# set port port
  3. Specify the interface to be used for connections to the application server.
    [edit slot 0 application-server web https]
    user@host# set interface interface

    On a C-series Controller, use eth1 for built-in Web applications; you can use eth0 for demonstration applications.

  4. Specify the name of the certificate on the local system.
    [edit slot 0 application-server web https]
    user@host# set local-certificate local-certificate
  5. (Optional) Configure user accounts to allow specified clients to authenticate with the application server.
