12.4.3 HTTPS
You can set the NWA to use HTTP or HTTPS (HTTPS adds security) for Web Configurator sessions.
HTTPS (HyperText Transfer Protocol over Secure Socket Layer, or HTTP over SSL) is a web protocol
that encrypts and decrypts web pages. Secure Socket Layer (SSL) is an application-level protocol
that enables secure transactions of data by ensuring confidentiality (an unauthorized party cannot
read the transferred data), authentication (one party can identify the other party) and data
integrity (you know if data has been changed).
It relies upon certificates, public keys, and private keys (see
for more
information).
HTTPS on the NWA is used so that you can securely access the NWA using the Web Configurator.
The SSL protocol specifies that the HTTPS server (the NWA) must always authenticate itself to the
HTTPS client (the computer which requests the HTTPS connection with the NWA), whereas the
HTTPS client only should authenticate itself when the HTTPS server requires it to do so (select
Authenticate Client Certificates
in the
WWW
screen).
Authenticate Client Certificates
is
optional and if selected means the HTTPS client must send the NWA a certificate. You must apply
for a certificate for the browser from a CA that is a trusted CA on the NWA.
Please refer to the following figure.
1
HTTPS connection requests from an SSL-aware web browser go to port 443 (by default) on the
NWA’s web server.
2
HTTP connection requests from a web browser go to port 80 (by default) on the NWA’s web server.

HTTP/HTTPS Implementation
Note: If you disable
HTTP
in the
WWW
screen, then the NWA blocks all HTTP connection
attempts.
12.4.4 Configuring WWW Service Control
Click
Configuration > System > WWW
to open the
WWW
screen. Use this screen to specify
HTTP or HTTPS settings.
