Best practices for configuring HTTP
When configuring HTTP, follow these best practices:
•
If an SSL certificate will be required for HTTPS access, add the SSL certificate to the cluster
before creating the shares. See
“Managing SSL certificates” (page 123)
for information about
creating certificates in the format required by IBRIX software and then adding them to the
cluster.
•
When configuring a share on a file system, the file system must be mounted.
•
If the directory path to the share includes a subdirectory, be sure to create the subdirectory
on the file system and assign read/write/execute permissions to it. (IBRIX software does not
create the subdirectory if it does not exist, and instead adds a /pub/ directory to the share
path.)
•
Ensure that all users who are given read or write access to HTTP shares have sufficient access
permissions at the file system level for the directories exposed as shares.
•
For High Availability, when specifying IP addresses for accessing a share, use IP addresses
for VIFs having VIF backups. See the
for your system for information about
creating VIFs.
Managing HTTP from the GUI
Configuring HTTP shares
Use the Add New File Share Wizard to configure HTTP. You can then view or modify the
configuration as necessary.
