Command View XP AE Device Manager Server Properties 116
7-2 Server Configuration Properties
The server configuration properties are contained in the server.properties file. This is normally located
in the HiCommandServer/config directory, under the installation directory.
The default directory for the configuration properties on Windows
®
systems is:
• c:\Program Files\CVXPAE\DeviceManager\HiCommandServer\config
7-2-1 server.http.host
This property specifies either the host name or dotted-decimal IP address for the host that operates
the web server functionality of Device Manager:
• If you specify a host name, make sure to use a value that a DNS can resolve on Web Client,
Device Manager CLI, and the disk array.
• If you specify an IP address, specify a value to which Web Client, Device Manager CLI, and the
disk array can connect.
• In a cluster environment, specify the IP address of the cluster manager.
• When multiple NICs (Network Interface Cards) are installed on the server, specify a host name
or IP address corresponding to an NIC to which Web Client, Device Manager CLI, and the disk
array can connect.
Default: localhost
7-2-2 server.http.socket.bindAddress
NOTE: This property is not currently in use. If you want to limit client access, use the
server.http.security.clientIP property (see section
7-8-3 ).
Default: blank
7-2-3 server.http.port
This property assigns the port used for the Device Manager HTTP (web) server. The conventional port
number used for a standard web server is 80, but there may already be an Intranet server running on
this port. Moreover, you should avoid low-numbered ports because these could conflict with other
services installed on the server. As a general rule, you can pick any port between 1024 and 49151.
CAUTION: Use 80 for the port number when this property is set to a space character.
Default: 2001
7-2-4 server.https.port
This property assigns the port used for the Device Manager secure HTTP web server. The
conventional port number for a secure web server is 443, but there may already be a secure Intranet
server running on this port. As noted above, it is better practice to utilize a port number between 1024
and 49151 for a specialized (middleware) HTTP server. Make sure that it has a different value than
the port designated for the HTTP listener.
Default: 2443
7-2-5 server.http.default
This property sets the name of the default index page for the Device Manager web server. If an HTTP
request is made against a directory (for example, https://hic.domain.com:2443/foo/, where foo is a
folder under the server’s document root), the web server attempts to find and transfer the named file
to the client. If none exists, a directory listing is returned to the client browser. Under normal
conditions, you should not need to change the default value of this property.
Default: index.html
