Four
Hyper Text Transfer Protocol Secure (HTTPS)
This chapter briefly describes the HTTPS interface that resides on the Meridian II Precision Time-
Base. The HTTPS interface to Meridian II is a fast and easy-to-use graphical interface that is com-
patible with your standard web browser. Simply point your browser to the IP address of Meridian II
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 Meridian II 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:
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 3 - 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.
