Chapter 9 Configuring Switch-Based Authentication
Configuring the Switch for Secure Socket Layer HTTP
Use the no ip http server global configuration command to disable the standard HTTP server. Use the
no ip http secure-server global configuration command to disable the secure HTTP server. Use the no
ip http secure-port and the no ip http secure-ciphersuite global configuration commands to return to
the default settings. Use the no ip http secure-client-auth global configuration command to remove the
requirement for client authentication.
To verify the secure HTTP connection by using a Web browser, enter https://URL, where the URL is the
IP address or hostname of the server switch. If you configure a port other than the default port, you must
also specify the port number after the URL. For example:
https://209.165.129:1026
or
https://host.domain.com:1026
Step 5
ip http secure-ciphersuite
{[3des-ede-cbc-sha] [rc4-128-md5]
[rc4-128-sha] [des-cbc-sha]}
(Optional) Specify the CipherSuites (encryption algorithms) to be used
for encryption over the HTTPS connection. If you do not have a reason to
specify a particularly CipherSuite, you should allow the server and client
to negotiate a CipherSuite that they both support. This is the default.
Step 6
ip http secure-client-auth (Optional) Configure the HTTP server to request an X.509v3 certificate
from the client for authentication during the connection process. The
default is for the client to request a certificate from the server, but the
server does not attempt to authenticate the client.
Step 7
ip http secure-trustpoint name Specify the CA trustpoint to use to get an X.509v3 security certificate and
to authenticate the client certificate connection.
Note Use of this command assumes you have already configured a CA
trustpoint according to the previous procedure.
Step 8
ip http path path-name (Optional) Set a base HTTP path for HTML files. The path specifies the
location of the HTTP server files on the local system (usually located in
system flash memory).
Step 9
ip http access-class access-list-number (Optional) Specify an access list to use to allow access to the HTTP server.
Step 10
ip http max-connections value (Optional) Set the maximum number of concurrent connections that are
allowed to the HTTP server. The range is 1 to 16; the default value is 5.
Step 11
ip http timeout-policy idle seconds life
seconds requests value
(Optional) Specify how long a connection to the HTTP server can remain
open under the defined circumstances:
• idle—the maximum time period when no data is received or response
data cannot be sent. The range is 1 to 600 seconds. The default is
180
seconds (3 minutes).
• life—the maximum time period from the time that the connection is
established. The range is 1 to 86400 seconds (24 hours). The default
is 180 seconds.
• requests—the maximum number of requests processed on a
persistent connection. The maximum value is 86400. The default is 1.
Step 12
end Return to privileged EXEC mode.
Step 13
show ip http server secure status Display the status of the HTTP secure server to verify the configuration.
Step 14
copy running-config startup-config (Optional) Save your entries in the configuration file.
