Invoking CWHP in SSL Enabled Mode (HTTPS)
To invoke CWHP in the SSL enabled mode (HTTPS):
Step 1
Enter the URL for your CiscoWorks Server in your browser.
http://
server_name:port_number
where server name is the name of the CiscoWorks Server and port number is the
TCP port used by the CiscoWorks Server, when SSL is enabled (secure mode).
If you enter,
http
://
server_name:port_number
/login.html
in your web
browser, the CiscoWorks Server will not launch. Also, do not bookmark the URL
with the login.html.
When SSL is enabled (HTTPS), the default TCP port for CiscoWorks Server is
443.
•
On Windows, CiscoWorks Server always uses the default port numbers in
secure and normal modes.
•
On Solaris, if the default TCP ports (1741 and 443) are used by other
applications, you can select different ports for secure and normal modes
during CiscoWorks Server installation. For more information, see Installation
and Setup Guide for CiscoWorks Common Services on Solaris.
