Enabling Web and Secure Web Modes
Enabling Web and Secure Web Modes
Use these commands to enable or disable the distribution system port as a web port or as a secure web
port:
• config network webmode {enable | disable}
• config network secureweb {enable | disable}
Web and secure web modes are enabled by default.
Configuring the GUI for HTTPS
You can protect communication with the GUI by enabling HTTPS. HTTPS protects HTTP browser
sessions by using the Secure Socket Layer (SSL) protocol. When you enable HTTPS, the controller
generates its own local Web Administration SSL certificate and automatically applies it to the GUI.
You can also load an externally generated certificate. Follow the instructions in the “Loading an
Externally Generated HTTPS Certificate” section on page 2-4 for instructions on loading an externally
generated certificate.
Using the CLI, follow these steps to enable HTTPS:
Step 1 Enter show certificate summary to verify that the controller has generated a certificate:
>show certificate summary
Web Administration Certificate................. Locally Generated
Web Authentication Certificate................. Locally Generated
Certificate compatibility mode:................ off
Step 2 (Optional) If you need to generate a new certificate, enter this command:
>config certificate generate webadmin
After a few seconds the controller verifies that the certificate is generated:
Web Administration certificate has been generated
Step 3 Enter this command to enable HTTPS:
>config network secureweb enable
Step 4 Save the SSL certificate, key, and secure web password to NVRAM (non-volatile RAM) so your changes
are retained across reboots:
>save config
Are you sure you want to save? (y/n) y
Configuration Saved!
Step 5 Reboot the controller:
>reset system
Are you sure you would like to reset the system? (y/n) y
System will now restart!
The controller reboots.
