The following switches enable the HTTP console and control its configuration settings. The console enables you to monitor the GWIA through a web browser. For more information, see Section 32.1, Using the GWIA Console.
Specifies the port where the GWIA listens for the console. The default port established during installation is 9850.
Syntax: --httpport port_number
Example: --httpport 9851
By default, any user who knows the GWIA’s address and port (‑‑httpport) can use the console. This switch adds security to the console by forcing users to log into the console using the specified user name. The ‑‑httppassword switch must also be used to establish the user password.
Syntax: --httpuser user_name
Example: --httpuser gwia
The user_name can be any arbitrary name.
Specifies the password that must be supplied along with the user name provided by ‑‑httpuser.
Syntax: --httppassword password
Example: --httppassword monitor
By default, the GWIA refreshes the console information every 60 seconds. You can use this switch to override the default refresh interval.
Syntax: --httprefresh seconds
Example: --httprefresh 120
Enables the GWIA to use a secure connection to a web browser being used to display the GWIA console. The web browser must also be enabled to use SSL; if it is not, a non-secure connection is used. See Section 28.5, Securing Internet Access with SSL Connections to the GWIA.
Syntax: --httpssl
