Parameter
Description
Setting
HTTP Service
Global control over the enable and disable status of the HTTP sharing service. If this parameter is not enabled, all the other parameter configurations become invalid.
NOTE:- By default, the storage system provides an HTTPS service certificate. You are advised to replace the certificate with a private certificate before accessing HTTPS shares. After the certificate is replaced, the CA certificate of the storage system must be imported for the browser to eliminate security alarms. As the service IP address is used to access the HTTPS service, alarm This website's address does not match the address in the security certificate cannot be cleared.
- When the HTTP service is disabled, the system automatically deletes information about shared file systems and directories. When the HTTP service is enabled again, configure the HTTP shared file systems and directories.
