Instructions
You can specify which IP address accepts WebUI connections on a node by modifying the webui_httpd.conf file. It is recommended to backup the configuration prior to changing it.
# cp /etc/mcp/templates/webui_httpd.conf /etc/mcp/templates/webui_httpd_backup.conf
In the following example, the IP 192.xxx.xx.xxx was added:
/etc/mcp/templates/webui_httpd.conf # ================================================= # Basic settings # ================================================= Listen 192.xxx.xx.xxx:$$WEBUI_PORT$$ https Listen $$VASASVC_PORT$$ https Listen $$WEBHDFS_PORT$$ http Listen 0.0.0.0:$$SWIFT_HTTPS_PORT$$ https <snipped>
Verify that the IP is listening on port 8080:
# sockstat | grep 8080 daemon httpd 3055 11 tcp4 192.xxx.xx.xxx:8080 *:* daemon httpd 3054 11 tcp4 192.xxx.xx.xxx:8080 *:* root httpd 2104 11 tcp4 192.xxx.xx.xxx:8080 *:* root lwswift 2094 15 tcp4 6 *:28080 *:* #netstat -an | grep -i listen | grep 8080 tcp4 0 0 192.xxx.xx.xxx.8080 *.* LISTEN tcp46 0 0 *.28080 *.* LISTEN
Additional Information
