Command Usage
◆ You cannot configure the HTTP and HTTPS servers to use the same port.
◆ To avoid using common reserved TCP port numbers below 1024, the
configurable range is restricted to 443 and between 1024 and 65535.
◆ If you change the HTTPS port number, clients attempting to connect to the
HTTPS server must specify the port number in the URL, in this format: https://
device:port_number
Example
AP(config)# apmgmtui https port 1234
AP(config)#
apmgmtui https
server
Use this command to enable the secure hypertext transfer protocol (HTTPS) over
the Secure Socket Layer (SSL), providing secure access (that is, an encrypted
connection) to the access point’s web interface. Use the no form to disable this
function.

Global Configuration
Command Usage
◆ Both HTTP and HTTPS service can be enabled independently.
◆ If you enable HTTPS, you must indicate this in the URL:
https://device:port_number]
◆ When you start HTTPS, the connection is established in this way:
■
The client authenticates the server using the server’s digital certificate.
■
The client and server negotiate a set of security protocols to use for the
connection.
■
The client and server generate session keys for encrypting and decrypting
data.
