Enabling access to the Utility Server using an HTTP connection

Last Updated : Jun 08, 2026 |

About this task

By default, you can access files stored on the Utility Server using a secure HTTPS connection. Use this procedure if you want to access the Utility Server using an unsecure HTTP connection.

Before you begin

For AWS deployments, ensure that an inbound rule for HTTP port 80 is configured on a security group that you use for Utility Server IP addresses.

Procedure

In a cluster environment, perform this procedure on the seed node first and then on all non-seed nodes.

  1. Log in to the node using an SSH connection.
  2. Run the following command to navigate to the misc directory:

    cdto misc

  3. Run the following command to enable HTTP access:

    sudo ./us-http-port.sh --enable

  4. When the configuration process is complete, reload the firewall.

Result

After HTTP access to the Utility Server is enabled on all nodes, you can access Utility Server files, such as 46xxsettings.txt, using the following URL:

http://<Utility Server FQDN>/<file name>

For example: http://utilityserver.example.com/46xxsettings.txt
