A.1 Address and Port Commands

Purpose

Specifies each address and port that HTTPSTKD opens and listens on.

Optionally, you can enable SSL on the port using the keyfile and certfile parameters. SSL encrypts the login, so that passwords are not sent over the Internet in plain text.

Syntax

addr ip_address:port_number

addr ip_address:port_number keyfile:key_file_path/keyfile_name.key certfile:certificate_file_path/cerfile_name.pem

Option

Use

IP_address

One of the following:

  • 0.0.0.0

  • The assigned static IP address of the node

A DNS name is not allowed.

port

One of the following for public or secure:

  • 8008 is the default public port

  • 8009 is the default secure port

  • any port not in use on the server

If you are accessing Novell Remote Manager outside a firewall, these ports must be open.

keyfile=<keyfile_path/keyfile_name.key>

A .key file is the private key used to encrypt SSL-enabled requests. The key corresponds to the public key in the certificate.

/etc/opt/novell/httpstkd/server.key is the default path and file name on a new server installation.

certfile=<certificate_path/certfile_name.pem>

A .pem file is a base64 ASCII encoded SSL certificate and its public key.

/etc/opt/novell/httpstkd/server.pem is the default path and file name on a new server installation.

Examples

addr 0.0.0.0:8008
addr 0.0.0.0:8009 keyfile=/etc/opt/novell/httpstkd/server.key certfile=/etc/opt/novell/httpstkd/server.pem
