HTTP(S) API
Sentinel has an HTTP based API that can be used to perform remote control of the Sentinel unit. This interface is
configured via the options available on this page.
Enable HTTP API Interface
This allows access to the API interface via the HTTP protocol. Where security is a concern
for having open access to the Sentinel API it is recommended to disable this access method
and turn on authentication for the API. To disable access to the Sentinel API fully then both
HTTP and HTTPS should be disabled.
Enable HTTPS API Interface
Where security is a concern for access to the Sentinel API then it is recommended to use
HTTPS and disable the HTTP interface. To disable access to the Sentinel API fully then both
HTTP and HTTPS should be disabled.
This is the seed value that is used as part of the authentication handshake when
authentication is enabled.
This enables authentication on the API interface.
Clear logins when seed changes
When set, changing the value of the Key Seed will cause all sessions currently logged into
the API interface to be logged out.
This is the time that a login to the API interface will last before a new login would be
required. All logins are cleared when the Sentinel is rebooted.
