Enabling Remote Users to Access the C-Web Interface
You can make the C-Web interface accessible to remote users through secure HTTP (HTTPS) or HTTP. You can configure access through the C-Web interface or by using the SRC CLI.
Accessing the C-Web Interface Through Secure HTTP
Before you configure access to the C-Web interface through HTTPS, obtain a digital security certificate on the system.
See Digital Certificates Overview.
To make the C-Web interface accessible to remote users through HTTPS:
Click Configure, expand System>Services>Web Management, and then click HTTPS.
The HTTP pane appears.
Click Create.
To configure HTTPS for an Ethernet port:
Select the Ethernet port from the list.
To configure a TCP port, type the value in the Port box, and click Apply.
To configure HTTPS for an interface:
Type a list of incoming network interfaces in the Interface box.
To configure a TCP port, type the value in the Port box, and click Apply.
Accessing the C-Web Interface Through HTTP
Although you can configure access to the C-Web interface through HTTP rather than HTTPS, be aware of the following restrictions:
An HTTP connection is not secure. At login, the password is sent in clear text across the network and could be intercepted.
If you use the redirect server, you must change the port that the C-Web interface uses from the default port, 80. If the redirect server is enabled, and the C-Web interface is configured to use HTTP on port 80, the redirect server will intercept traffic destined for the C-Web interface.
