CISCO MSE web service port configuration

singhmanishp
Level 1
Level 1

Hi,

I recently configured CISCO 3310 box with MSE version 7.2. Services are up and running in the box, I could add the MSE to WCS and also able to track the location using WCS. However, I could not connect the third party software to MSE web services to get the location information there. When I hit the server url "https://<my mse>" I get list of possible services like:

Error 404 - Not Found.

No service matched or handled this  request.

Known services are:

http://my server:8880/hs/

http://my server:8880/mdp/

http://my server:8880/admin/

http://my server:8880/wips/

http://my server:8880/location/

http://my server:8880/subscription/

http://my server:8880/aaa/

http://127.0.0.1:8180/localadmin/

https://127.0.0.1:8443/localadmin/

https://my server:8843/mdp/

https://my server:8843/wips/

https://my server:8843/hs/

https://my server:8843/admin/

https://my server:8843/location/

https://my server:8843/subscription/

https://my server:8843/aaa/

I browsed through the documentation (CAS_71.pdf) and found a text saying:

NotePort 80 will be enabled on the MSE if the enablehttp command was entered on MSE. Ports 8880 and 8843 will be closed on the MSE when the CA-issued certificates are installed on the MSE.

I am running the test system so I do not really want to install CA signed certificate, so I used self signed certificate and restarted the server, but it did not help.

Any pointer on how can I make the web services up and running on port 443 would be great!!

Cheers,

Manish

Hi Manish,

what is the output of this command:

/etc/init.d/msed status

Hi Amjad,

I am able to run the webservices now!

The problem was with the installation of the certificates. My certificate validation was failing as I did not decrypt the private key before appending it to the certificate.

Here is the procedure to follow:

Generate the certificate signing request using the Certmgmt.sh.

Get the certificate signed

Decrypt the private key and append it to the signed certificate. I used .pem format,

Convert CA certificates (I got them in .der format) into .pem

using Certmgmt.sh:

Install CA certificates

Install server certiface

press option 10 (exit)

the msed reboots and now apache deamon is started.

Thanks

Manish

The enablehttp command in ssh doesn't solve the problem...

Thanks a lot if you have any idea.

Hi,

Try to enable http by console or ssh on MSE typing:

root@mse ~]# enablehttp

after that try to connect MSE to Prime NCS.

Regards

Hi Oscar,

That didn't worked. I tried that option too but when I typed enablehttp and hit enter it doesn't gives any output and goes in kind of hanged state. I checked the /etc/init.d/msed status after that and its still the same as above.

Any other suggestion ?

Helllo,

Did you try to clear ip tables to re-open the ports ?

Clear iptables

Hi Gerald,

I cleared the iptables and then tried to check the status of msed  but it is still the same.

Other thing I want to know, Is it mandatory to get the https status as true before trying to add it on PI ?

Hi,

Https is not necessary but you can use it if http doesn’t work. I see http is down in your capture. In my case using "enablehttp" got http up and join it with Prime.

Anyway, does ping from MSE to Prime work?
