You can adjust the Backup Manager settings used for HTTP and HTTPS connections. Web Server HTTP Settings control Web Server configuration specific to unencrypted HTTP connections. Web Server HTTPS Settings control Web Server configuration specific to encrypted (SSL) HTTPS connections.

Tip
To access the Backup Manager via HTTP protocol, start the address with http://. For HTTPS, use https://.

Follow the instructions below to configure the Web Server Options in the Backup Manager.

1. In the Main menu, click Configuration. Server Backup Manager displays the Configuration window.
2. In the Configuration menu, click Web Server Options. SBM displays the Web Server Options window, as shown in the following image.

3. Define the following options:

HTTP Options
  • Enabled. Check this box to enable HTTP.
    Note
    Disabling HTTP requires all users to access the Backup Manager with a URL starting with HTTPS and use an SSL connection.


  • Port. Type the port number on which you want the HTTP server to listen. The default port is 80.
    Note
    You can also specify the HTTP port using the Windows Backup Manager Configuration Utility. For more information about using this utility, see Configure Backup Manager ports.


  • Max Connections. Type the largest number of simultaneous user connections via HTTP protocol that you want. The default value is 100.
SSL Options
  • Enabled. Check this box to enable the HTTPS connection.
    Note
    If the Enabled checkbox is clear, then the connection via https protocol is blocked.


  • Port. Type the port number on which you want the HTTPS server to listen. The default port is 80.
    Note
    You can also specify the HTTPS port using the Windows Backup Manager Configuration Utility. For more information about using this utility, see Configure Backup Manager ports.


  • SSL Redirect. Check this box to redirect all requests to HTTPS protocol.
  • Max Connections. Type the largest number of simultaneous user connections via HTTPS protocol that you want. The default value is 100.
  • Keystore Path. Type the full path to the file that contains the key.

4. Click Save. Server Backup Manager displays the Restart Web Server window. Changing the Web server options requires you to restart the Web server.

Notice
Restarting the Web server does not interrupt any running tasks.

5. Click Yes to restart the Web server.

Notes
  • If you change your port number, then you must manually append it to the URL.
  • If you disable a protocol, you must manually change its type. If you fail to change the type, the page automatically redirects you when the Web server resumes.
  • If the Web server does not restart in approximately 30 seconds, check the server logs for errors. The default path for logs is C:\Program Files\Idera Server Backup\log (for Windows) or /usr/sbin/r1soft/log (for Linux).
