Chapter 6: Services Menu
Disabling the HTTPS Server
At this point, your web browser may display a security warning message to indicate that it does not consider the access point, which created its own HTTPS certificate, as a trusted certificate authority. If you see a warning message, you should be able to close it and manage the device. To eliminate the message, add the access point as a trusted certificate authority to the web browser. Refer to the web browser documentation for instructions.
9. You should now be able to log on to the access point.
The following procedure explains how to disable the HTTPS server on the access point. Please review the following guidelines before performing the procedure:
Disabling the HTTPS server while managing the access point with HTTPS interrupts your management session. You may use HTTP or SNMP to continue managing the device.
If the maximum number of active sessions is set to 1, the default value, you may have to wait until the inactive session timer times out before starting a new session. The default is five minutes. The maximum number of active sessions does not apply to SNMP.
If you disable HTTPS without configuring HTTP or SNMP, you cannot manage the access point. Your only alternative is to return the device to its default settings with the Reset button on the back panel.
To disable the HTTPS server, perform this procedure:
1.From the Services menu, select HTTP/HTTPS.
The access point displays the “Configure Web Server Settings” window. Refer to Figure 45 on page 145.
2.Click the Disabled dialog circle for the HTTPS Server Status field. The following prompt is displayed.
