IOS as a simple web server

[Bela Mareczky]

Dear Community!

I would like to use a Cisco router as simple web-server hosting an automatic proxy configuration script file. Is is possible to configure HTTP AAA to allow access without username / password authentication?

See the test configuration below:

!
aaa new-model
aaa authentication login CISCO_HTTP_AUTH none
aaa authorization exec CISCO_HTTP_AUTH none
aaa authorization commands 15 CISCO_HTTP_AUTH none
!
access-list 99 permit host [***Host IP***]
!
ip http server
ip http access-class 99
ip http authentication aaa login-authentication CISCO_HTTP_AUTH
ip http authentication aaa exec-authorization CISCO_HTTP_AUTH
ip http authentication aaa command-authorization 15 CISCO_HTTP_AUTH
no ip http secure-server
ip http path flash:
!

Router#dir
Directory of flash:/

Thanks in advance!

Define an authentication method using "none" then apply it to the http authentication configuration.

e.g.

aaa authentication login example none

!

ip http authentication aaa login-authentication example

Please be aware of the security implications of this.
