Enable HTTPS-Only Communication for NNMi

The HTTP mode of communication can still be used even after installing and configuring NNMi to use HTTPS communication. To be able to restrict remote access to NNMi via HTTP, completely disable NNMi's HTTP mode of communication by following the instructions in the Configuring NNMi to Require Encryption for Remote Access section in the NNMi Deployment Reference.

Note In a Global Network Management environment, perform this task on each regional manager and the global manager.

  2. Run the following command:

    configureWebAccess.ovpl -ssl
