Configuring Secure Web Access

You can manage a Juniper Networks device remotely through the J-Web interface. To communicate with the device, the J-Web interface uses Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP). HTTP allows easy Web access but no encryption. The data that is transmitted between the Web browser and the device by means of HTTP is vulnerable to interception and attack. To enable secure Web access, the Juniper Networks devices support Hypertext Transfer Protocol over Secure Sockets Layer (HTTPS). You can enable HTTP or HTTPS access on specific interfaces and ports as needed.

You can use J-Web Quick Configuration, the J-Web configuration editor, or the CLI configuration editor to configure secure Web access.

For more information about the J-Web interface, see the J-Web Interface User Guide.

For information about which devices support the features documented in this chapter, see the Junos OS Feature Support Reference for SRX Series and J Series Devices.
