Starting and Configuring the HTTP Server

Digest Authentication

Digest authentication, based on RFC 2069, uses an encrypted password to verify a

user’s identity. Like basic access authentication, digest authentication uses a

challenge-response model, but the authentication information is encrypted. To use

digest authentication, your browser must be capable of supporting digest

authentication, and you must explicitly set the HTTP server Authentication

parameter to digest. If your browser supports digest authentication, but the server

is set to basic authentication, the browser uses basic authentication. If your

browser does not support digest authentication, you must set authentication to

basic; otherwise, you cannot access the device.

Filtering Network Addresses

For additional security, you can implement IP access control filters when you

configure IP on the router. These filters further restrict access to the router,

limiting access to specific IP addresses or IP address ranges.

You must also ensure that IP is appropriately configured to support HTTP. To do

this, you must ensure that the appropriate access policy filters are configured for

HTTP.

To specify these requirements as part of the IP configuration process, use the

BCC. For additional information about IP access policy filters and how to

configure them, see Configuring IP Utilities. For general instructions about using

the BCC, see Using the Bay Command Console (BCC).

Using a Domain Name Instead of an IP Address

By default, you access a server using its IP address. However, you can let the

server be accessible by a domain name, rather than by IP address, by specifying

the HTTP Server Domain Name parameter. The value of the HTTP Server

Domain Name parameter must be a domain name that a DNS lookup would return

for the router. The name can consist of any valid string of characters.
