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:

To make the C-Web interface accessible to remote users through HTTP:

  1. From configuration mode, access the hierarchy level for web-management HTTP.
  2. [edit]
    
    user@host# edit system services web-management http
    
    
    
  3. (Required if you use redirect server) Specify which TCP port is to receive incoming connection requests for the C-Web interface.
  4. [edit system services web-management https]
    
    user@host# set port port
    
    
    

The default port for HTTP is 80. Use another port of you use redirect server.

  1. (Optional) Specify the interface to be used for Web browser connections to the C-Web interface.
  2. [edit system services web-management https]
    
    user@host# set interface interface 
    
    
    

You can specify an interface for SRC installations on Solaris platforms as well as on C-series platforms. On the C-series platform, use eth0; you can use eth2 or eth3 if installed.

On C-series platforms, specifying an interface is important if your C-series platform has eth2 and eth3 interfaces and you want to restrict C-Web interface access to one or both of these interfaces.

  1. Configure logging for the C-Web interface.

See SRC-PE Monitoring and Troubleshooting Guide, Chapter 3, Configuring Logging for SRC Components with the CLI.

  1. (Optional) Configure user accounts to allow specified users to log in to the C-Web interface.

Users who have privileges to log in to the SRC CLI also have privileges to log in to the C-Web interface.

NOTE: Like access to the SRC CLI, we recommend that you not use root access. If you do use root access, it must be through a secure terminal on a C-series platform. On Solaris platforms, root login is allowed through Telnet.


See Chapter 19, Configuring User Access.
