19.12 Configuring NNMi to require encryption for remote access

An administrator can disable capability for HTTP access to NNMi from the network.

Before configuring NNMi to permit only encrypted remote access, make sure the global network management and other integrations support SSL. Configure them for SSL before configuring NNMi to permit only encrypted remote access.

To disable HTTP access from the network to NNMi, edit the server.properties file as follows:

1. Edit the following file (you will need to create it if it does not exist):

   • Windows: %NnmDataDir%\nmsas\NNM\server.properties

   • UNIX: $NnmDataDir/nmsas/NNM/server.properties

2. Add the following four lines to the server.properties file:

   nmsas.server.net.bind.address = 127.0.0.1
   nmsas.server.net.bind.address.ssl = 0.0.0.0
   nmsas.server.net.hostname = localhost
   nmsas.server.net.hostname.ssl = ${com.hp.ov.nms.fqdn}

3. Restart the NNMi management server:

   a. Run the ovstop command on the NNMi management server.

   b. Run the ovstart command on the NNMi management server.
