z
After the HTTPS service is enabled, you can use the display ip https command to view the state
of the HTTPS service and verify the configuration.
z
Enabling of the HTTPS service will trigger an SSL handshake negotiation process. During the
process, if the local certificate of the device already exists, the SSL negotiation is successfully
performed, and the HTTPS service can be started normally. If no local certificate exists, a
certificate application process will be triggered by the SSL negotiation. Since the application
process takes much time, the SSL negotiation may fail and the HTTPS service cannot be started
normally. Therefore, the ip https enable command must be executed for multiple times to ensure
normal startup of the HTTPS service.
Associating the HTTPS Service with a Certificate Attribute Access
Control Policy
Associating the HTTPS service with a configured certificate access control policy helps control the
access right of the client, thus providing the device with enhanced security.
Follow these steps to associate the HTTPS service with a certificate attribute access control policy:

Not associated by default.
z
If the ip https certificate access-control-policy command is executed repeatedly, the HTTPS
server is only associated with the last specified certificate attribute access control policy.
z
If the HTTPS service is associated with a certificate attribute access control policy, the
client-verify enable command must be configured in the SSL server policy. Otherwise, the client
cannot log onto the device.
z
If the HTTPS service is associated with a certificate attribute access control policy, the latter must
contain at least one permit rule. Otherwise, no HTTPS client can log onto the device.
z
For the configuration of an SSL server policy, refer to PKI Configuration in the Security Volume .
Configuring the Port Number of the HTTPS Service
Configuration of the port number of the HTTPS service can reduce the attacks from illegal users on the
HTTPS service.
Follow these steps to configure the port number of the HTTPS service:
