Description
This command configures the controller’s web server.
Syntax
Usage Guidelines
There is a default server certificate installed in the controller, however this certificate does not guarantee security
in production networks. Dell strongly recommends that you replace the default certificate with a custom
certificate issued for your site by a trusted Certificate Authority (CA). See the ArubaOS User Guide for more
information about how to generate a Certificate Signing Request (CSR) to submit to a CA and how to import the
signed certificate received from the CA into the controller. After importing the signed certificate into the
controller, use the web-server command to specify the certificate for captive portal or WebUI access. If you need
to specify a different certificate for captive portal or WebUI access, use the no command to revert back to the
default certificate before you specify the new certificate (see the Example section).
