Web Server

The Web Server supports all versions of the TLS protocol, but, due to security concerns, does not support any versions of the SSL protocol. The Web Server page allows the system administrator to:

To configure web server settings:

  1. Complete the following fields:

Timeout

Number of minutes (5-120) after which the SLC or SLB web session times out. The default is 5. To avoid timeouts, select No.

If the session times out, refresh the browser page and enter your user ID and password to open another web session.

Note: If you close the browser without logging off the SLC or SLB unit first, you will have to wait for the timeout time to expire. You can also end a web session by using the admin web terminate command at the CLI or by asking your system administrator to terminate your active web session.

To view or terminate current web sessions, click  the Web Sessions link.

To view, import, or reset  the SSL Certificate, click the SSL Certificate link.

Enable iGoogle Gadget Web Content

Select the check box to enable an SLC or SLB iGoogle gadget. The iGoogle gadget allows an iGoogle user to view the  port status of many SLCs on one web page.

Cipher

By default, the web uses High/Medium security (128 bits or higher) for the cipher. This option can be used to configure the web to also support Low security (less than 128 bits) for the cipher. Changing this option requires a reboot for the change to take effect.

Group Access

If undefined, any group can access the web. If one or more groups are specified (groups are delimited by the characters ',' (comma) or ';' (semicolon)), then any user who logs into the web must be a member of one of the specified groups, otherwise access will be denied. Users authenticated via RADIUS may have a group (or groups) provided by the RADIUS server via the Filter-Id attribute that overrides the group defined for a user on the SLC or SLB unit. A group provided by a remote server must be either a single group or multiple groups delimited by the characters ',' (comma), ';' (semicolon), or '=' (equals) - for example "group=group1,group2;" or "group1,group2,group3".

Banner

The text to display on the web manager home page after the user logs in. May contain up to 1024 characters (single quote and double quote characters are not supported). Blank by default.
Note: To create additional lines in the banner use the \n character sequence.

Network Interfaces

The interfaces that the web server is available on. By default, Eth1, Eth2 and PPP interfaces on modems are enabled.

Run Web Server

If enabled, the web server will run and listen on TCP ports 80 and 443 (all requests to port 80 are redirected to port 443). By default, the web server is enabled.

  1. To save, select  Apply.
