Device.UserInterface.HTTPAccess

The backend of HTTPAccess datamodel has been implemented using nginx and nginx-util. The parameters under Device.UserInterface. are mapped with the userinterface UCI parameters and Device.UserInerface.HTTPAccess. with nginx UCI parameters.

Note: To enable Device.UserInterface. and Device.UserInerface.HTTPAccess. Datamodel object there must exist /etc/config/userinerface and etc/config/nginx respectively in the CPE, hence need to have userinterface, nginx and nginx-util packages in the build.

Mapping between UCI and datamodel params

Datamodel param UCI package UCI Section UCI param
Device.UserInerface.Enable userinterface userinterface enable
Device.UserInterface.HTTPAccess.{i}.Port nginx server listen
Device.UserInterface.HTTPAccess.{i}.AllowedPathPrefixes nginx server root
Device.UserInterface.HTTPAccess.{i}.AllowedHosts nginx server include

Note: There are a few datamodel parameters which either has no direct mapping with nginx UCI standard parameter or not supported in nginx. Some of such parameters are handled using non standard UCI params and dmmap file.

Non standard and dmmap file supported params

Datamodel param UCI package UCI Section UCI param
Device.UserInterface.HTTPAccess.{i}.Enable nginx server uci_enable
Device.UserInterface.HTTPAccess.{i}.AccessType nginx server uci_access
Device.UserInterface.HTTPAccess.{i}.Interface nginx server uci_interface
Device.UserInterface.HTTPAccess.{i}.ActivationDate dmmap_nginx server activationdate
Device.UserInterface.HTTPAccess.{i}.Alias dmmap_nginx server server_alias

How to enable remote access of any server

To enable remote access of any server instance it is needed to set the Device.UserInterface.HTTPAccess.{i}.AccessType to RemoteAccess. Along with the AccessType it is also required to set the Device.UserInterface.HTTPAccess.{i}.Interface with the specific Device.IP.Interface. instance on which the server will listen for remote connection.

Port configuration

For port configuration it should be considered that each enabled server instance must have assigned a unique port number.
