Configuration | System | Management Protocols | HTTP/HTTPS
This screen lets you configure and enable the VPN 3002 HTTP/HTTPS server: Hypertext Transfer
Protocol and HTTP over SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) protocol. When the server is enabled, you can use
a Web browser to communicate with the VPN 3002. HTTPS lets you use a Web browser over a secure,
encrypted connection.
About HTTP/HTTPS
The Manager requires the HTTP/HTTPS server. If you click Apply, even if you have made no changes
on this screen, you break your HTTP/HTTPS connection and you must restart the Manager session from
the login screen.
If you disable either HTTP or HTTPS, and that is the protocol you are currently using, you can reconnect
with the other protocol if it is enabled and configured.
If you disable both HTTP and HTTPS, you cannot use a Web browser to connect to the VPN 3002. Use
the Cisco command-line interface from the console or a Telnet session.

Figure 8-2
Enable HTTP
Check the box to enable the HTTP server. The box is checked by default. HTTP must be enabled to
install the SSL certificate in the browser initially, so you can thereafter use HTTPS. Disabling the HTTP
server provides additional security, but makes system management less convenient. See the notes above.
