HTTP/HTTPS Access
22 Snap Server Administrator Guide
HTTP/HTTPS Access
Web View is the screen that opens when users access a Snap Server using their Web
browsers. This screen displays a list of all shares to which the user has access. Users
can navigate the share structure to locate and view or download files, but they
cannot modify or upload files. Web View requires the use of either Microsoft
Internet Explorer (4.0 or later) or Netscape Navigator (4.7x or later).
HTTP and HTTPS are the default protocols used for browser-based access to the
server. HTTPS enhances security by encrypting communications between client and
server, and cannot be disabled. You can, however, disable HTTP access on the
Network > Web
screen of the Administration Tool. Additionally, you can require
browser-based clients to authenticate to the server.
Tip
To access the CA e Trust Antivirus configuration interface (on the
Maintenance >
Antivirus
screen), HTTP must be enabled.
DHCP Server
DHCP server settings are configured on the
Network > DHCP
screen of the
Administration Tool. To configure the Snap Server as a DHCP server, it must have a
static IP address. This static address must meet two conditions: (1) it must lie
outside the DHCP range of IP addresses you specify on the
Network > DHCP
screen;
and (2) it must be part of the same subnet as the Snap Server to assign IP addresses.
You can assign the Snap Server a static IP address on the
Network > TCP/IP
screen.
Caution
Ensure that the network has no other active DHCP servers. You may
negatively impact the network if you enable the Snap Server as a DHCP server
while another server on the network is performing this function.
