Enabling Web Service over HTTP or HTTPS

By default, the Web Service is enabled over HTTPS. You can modify the Web Service settings to change the port or protocol. These settings also let you specify the security certificate file and private key file for HTTPS communications.

You can modify the Web Service settings through the following interfaces: NetVault Backup WebUI (through the Change Settings page), or Txtconfig.

 
* 
NOTE: NetVault Backup uses port 8443 as the default HTTPS listen port for incoming Web Service connections. When installing the server, if the default port (8443) is in use by any other application, NetVault Backup assigns the first available port in the port range 50486 to 65535.

You must be logged-in with Administrator privileges on Windows-based systems and root user privileges on Linux- and UNIX-based systems to use this procedure.
To configure the Web Service settings for NetVault Backup:

Table 1. Web Service settings
Setting
Description

HTTP settings

To access the Web Service through HTTP, configure the following settings:

•
Enable Web Service over HTTP: Select this check box.
If you are using Txtconfig, press the option number for this setting to change the value to ON.
•
HTTP Listen port for incoming Web Service connections: The default HTTP port is 80.
If this port is in use by any other server or application, configure an alternate port.

HTTPS settings

To access the Web Service through HTTPS, configure the following settings:

•
Enable Web Service over HTTPS: This protocol is selected by default.
HTTPS is the preferred protocol. This protocol provides encrypted communication between the client and server. It protects sensitive data such as NetVault Backup passwords passed between the browser and NetVault Web Service.
•
HTTPS Listen port for incoming Web Service connections: By default, NetVault Backup uses port 8443 for HTTPS. If this port is in use by any other server or application, configure an alternate port.
•
WebService security certificate file: To use HTTPS, provide a SSL certificate.
NetVault Backup provides a self-signed certificate (server.crt), which resides in the etc directory under the NetVault Backup installation directory. This certificate generates warnings in most browsers.
For the browser to accept a certificate without warnings, provide a valid certificate file signed by a trusted certificate authority.
•
Ciphers to disable for incoming Web Service connections: You can modify the Web Service configuration to disable ciphers for incoming web service connections settings to prevent from allowing one or more ciphers. These settings can be configured from the NetVault Server Settings page. By default, this field is blank and all the ciphers are allowed.
•
Protocols to disable for incoming Web Service connections: You can modify the Web Service configuration to disable protocol for incoming web service connections settings to prevent from allowing one or more protocols. These settings can be configured from the NetVault Server Settings page. By default, this field is blank and all the protocols are allowed.
•
WebService private key file: Provide the private key file required for HTTPS communications.
The default key file is server.key, which resides in the etc directory under the NetVault Backup installation directory.
