ReadyNAS Pro Business Edition User Guide
Managing User Access 3-23
v1.2, October 2008
• HTTP
– Redirect default web access to this share: Advanced configuration option allowing
hosting of user created HTTP web page on the ReadyNAS.
– Login authentication on this share: Configures the above mentioned share for whether
or not authentication is required if users are browsing to the user created web content
• HTTPS
– Port 1 : This field cannot be modified; it is reserved for the ReadyNAS.
– Port 2 : This field can be used to allow https connections over a port other than the
standard 443. Doing so will require enabling port forwarding of this port on the router.
– SSL key host : This field lets you configure the hostname used for the ReadyNAS to
generate its SSL certificate, and then create a new SSL certificate. It is advised users
update this field to match the current IP address of the ReadyNAS and then generate a
new SSL certificate to avoid future certificate errors from their web browser.
2. Configure the HTTP/S share access options.
Note: In this scenario, it is best to have a fixed IP configuration for the
ReadyNAS so that the certificate will remain valid. Also, if the WAN IP
address configuration is DHCP, then it is advisable to use a Dynamic DNS
service to access the ReadyNAS via a persistent fully qualified domain
name a DDNS service provides rather than via an IP address.
