Enable HTTPS Access for StarlingX REST and Web Server Endpoints¶

When secure HTTPS connectivity is enabled, HTTP is disabled.

About this task

Note

When you change from HTTP to HTTPS, or from HTTPS to HTTP:

Remote CLI users must re-source the StarlingX rc file.
Public endpoints are changed to HTTP or HTTPS, depending on which is enabled.
You must change the port portion of the Horizon Web interface URL.

For HTTP, use http:<oam-floating-ip-address>:8080

For HTTPS, use https:<oam-floating-ip-address>:8443
You must logout and re-login into Horizon for the HTTPS Access changes to be displayed accurately in Horizon.

```
~(keystone_admin)]$ system modify --https_enabled true

To disable HTTPS for StarlingX REST and Web Server endpoints:
