Edit the following option and click
OK
.
To Connect via HTTPS or HTTP
1.
Enter the
cluster name
(or Management IP address or any IP address from the node IP
address pool) in a Web browser.
Web access is case-sensitive. Capitalization must match exactly for a Web user to gain
access. To access a specific share directly, Internet users can append the full path to the
SnapScale cluster name or URL, as shown in the following examples:
https://SnapNode2302216/Share1/my_files
https://10.10.5.23/Share1/my_files

Configure the SnapScale Cluster as a Simple Web Server Using Web Root
When you enable the Web Root feature from the
Web
page, you can configure your SnapScale
cluster to open automatically to an HTML page of your choice when a user enters the following
in the browser field:
http://[
cluster_name
]
or
http://[IP address]
In addition, files and directories underneath the directory you specify as the Web Root can be
accessed by reference relative to
http://[
cluster_name
]
without having to reference a
specific share. For example, if the Web Root points to the directory
WebRoot
on share
SHARE1
, the file
SHARE1/WebRoot/photos/slideshow.html
can be accessed from a web
browser:
http://[
cluster_name
]/photos/slideshow.html
The Web Root can also be configured to support directory browsing independent of Web View
(access through shares).
