Hyper Text Transport Protocol Secure (HTTPS)
This chapter briefly describes the HTTPS interface that resides on the Sonoma GPS Time Server. The
HTTPS interface to the Sonoma is a fast and easy-to-use graphical interface that is compatible with
your standard web browser. Simply point your browser to the IP address of the Sonoma and log in
securely with HTTP over the Secure Socket Layer (SSL). Security-conscious customers may disable
the HTTPS interface (see the end of this chapter for instructions).
The HTTPS implementation in the Sonoma uses HTTP over SSL. SSL is a sublayer under standard
HTTP. HTTPS enhances security because it encrypts and decrypts the requested and returned pages
from the server, including any passwords which are transmitted.
The HTTPS implementation is built from the standard Apache/2.4.10 distribution from:
http://httpd.apache.org
See Chapter 5 - Security, HTTPS for information on changing the default HTTPS configuration and
SSL certificate and key.
IMPORTANT
A domain name server IP address is required by the Apache web server. When using
netconfig
(see
Chapter 9 - Console Port Control and Status ) to configure the TCP/IP parameters, be sure to
configure a name server. Only one name server is required but two gives some redundancy. The HTTPS
Interface will not operate properly if this is configured incorrectly.
