Configuring the Web-Server

The Web-Server allows accessing Axxon One remotely over the Internet (see Working with Axxon One Through the Mobile Clients, Working with Axxon One Through the Web-Client).

Attention

On the local computer with the Web-Server running, ports from the range [9001; 9001 + number of logical cores of the processor] must be open.

Attention

The Web-Server records incoming non-H.264 videos into MJPEG format, therefore the incoming traffic may increase dramatically.

To configure the Web-Server in the Axxon One software package:

Select a Server object.
If you want to disable the Web-Server, set the value of Enable to No (1).
In the Port field, enter the port number on which the Web-Server will be located (2).
In the URL path field, enter the prefix that is added to the server address (3).
To connect to a Web-Server via the HTTPS protocol, do the following:
1. Specify a path to the certificate (4).
  Attention!
  Axxon One supports SSL certificates in PEM format with TLS encryption v 1.2 and 1.3 and AES GCM, AES CCM and AES CBC algorithms.
  The public key must be in CRT format, the private key must be in KEY format.
2. Specify a path to the private key (5).
3. Enter a port number to connect to the HTTPS Server (6);
If you want to enable CORS (Cross Origin Resource Sharing) in the Web-Server, select the corresponding parameter (7).
The Axxon One VMS supports the following:
1. CORS HTTP-headers for GET and POST requests.
2. Preflight requests.
Click the Apply button.

The Web-Server is now configured and available over the Internet at the following address: http://<IP address of Axxon One Server>:<Port>/<Prefix>. For example, if the Servers IP address is 10.0.11.1, the port is 8000, and the prefix is /asip-api, then the Web-Server can be accessed at the following address: http://10.0.11.1:8000/asip-api.
