You use the HTTP(S) panel to enable and configure the HTTP, HS3, and WebDAV protocols for a namespace. To display this panel, on the left side of the Protocols panel, click on HTTP(S).
Although you use a single panel to enable these protocols, you enable or disable them independently of each other.
The top of the HTTP(S) panel shows the URL for access to the namespace through the HTTP protocol. If the HTTPS port is open or if neither the HTTPS or HTTP port is open, this URL starts with https. If only the HTTP port is open, the URL starts with http.

Note: Certain countries prohibit the export of encryption technology. HCP systems shipped to restricted countries have the HTTPS option on the namespace protocols page disabled. If you do not see the checkbox to enable HTTPS and you are in a country where SSL encryption is permitted, please contact Hitachi Vantara support. |
The HTTP(S) panel lets you:
•Enable the HTTP protocol.
•Enable the HS3 protocol.
•Enable the WebDAV protocol.
•Specify whether the HTTP, HS3, and WebDAV protocols require the use of SSL security.
•Specify whether the HTTP and HS3 protocols require user authentication for access to the namespace.
•If the tenant supports user authentication with Active Directory, specify whether HCP supports AD single sign-on for HTTP and HS3 access to the namespace. This affects the Namespace Browser, HCP Search Console, and other HTTP applications that support Integrated Windows authentication.
•Specify whether the WebDAV protocol requires basic authentication for access to the namespace.
•If WebDAV basic authentication is enabled, specify the username and password against which HCP authenticates WebDAV access to the namespace.
The username and password you specify for WebDAV basic authentication has no relationship to HCP or AD user accounts.

Tip: Be sure to give WebDAV users the specified username and password. |
•Specify whether WebDAV dead properties can be stored as custom metadata. If they can be, they are stored in the annotation named default.
•Specify the client IP addresses that have access to the namespace through HTTP and WebDAV.
By default, when a namespace is first created, the HTTP protocol is enabled with authentication and SSL security required.
