The SPS users can perform authentication-related activities (gateway authentication, 4-eyes authorization). On this endpoint you can configure on which interfaces can the users access SPS, and optionally restrict the access to these interfaces.
URL
GET https://<IP-address-of-SPS>/api/configuration/local_services/user_web
Cookies
| Cookie name | Description | Required | Values |
|---|---|---|---|
| session_id | Contains the authentication token of the user | Required |
The value of the session ID cookie received from the REST server in the authentication response, for example, a1f71d030e657634730b9e887cb59a5e56162860. For more information on authentication, see Authenticate to the SPS REST API. NOTE: This session ID refers to the connection between the REST client and the SPS REST API. It is not related to the sessions that SPS records (and which also have a session ID, but in a different format). |
Sample request
The following command lists the configuration options.

| Element | Type | Description | ||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| key | string | Top level element, contains the ID of the endpoint. | ||
| body | Top level element (string) | Contains the configuration options of the SPS web interface. | ||
|
access_restriction |
JSON object |
Enables and configures limitations on the clients that can access the web interface, based on the IP address of the clients. | ||
|
allowed_from |
list |
The list of IP networks from where the administrators are permitted to access this management interface. To specify the IP addresses or networks, use the IPv4-Address/prefix format, for example, 10.40.0.0/16. | ||
| enabled |
boolean |
Set it to true to restrict access to the specified client addresses. | ||
| bruteforce_protection | boolean | Enables protection against brute-force attacks by denying access after failed login attempts for increasingly longer period. Enabled by default. | ||
| listen | list | Selects the network interface, IP address, and port where the clients can access the web interface. | ||
| address | JSON object |
A reference to a configured network interface and IP address where this local service accepts connections. For example, if querying the interface /api/configuration/network/nics/nic1#interfaces/ff7574025754b3df1647001/addresses/ returns the following response: {
"body": {
"interfaces": {
"@order": [
"ff7574025754b3df1647001"
],
"ff7574025754b3df1647001": {
"addresses": {
"1": "10.40.255.171/24",
"@order": [
"1"
]
},
"name": "default",
"vlantag": 0
}
},
"name": "eth0",
"speed": "auto"
},
"key": "nic1",
"meta": {
"first": "/api/configuration/network/nics/nic1",

"next": "/api/configuration/network/nics/nic2",
"parent": "/api/configuration/network/nics",
"previous": null,
"transaction": "/api/transaction"
}
}
Then the listening address of the local service is the following. nic1.interfaces.ff7574025754b3df1647001.addresses.1 This is the format you have to use when configuring the address of the local service using REST: "address": "nic1.interfaces.ff7574025754b3df1647001.addresses.1" When querying a local services endpoint, the response will contain a reference to the IP address of the interface in the following format: "address": {
"key": "nic1.interfaces.ff7574025754b3df1647001.addresses.1",
"meta": {
"href": "/api/configuration/network/nics/nic1#interfaces/ff7574025754b3df1647001/addresses/1"
}
}, | ||
| http_port | integer | The port number where SPS accepts HTTP connections. Note that SPS automatically redirects connections from this port to the HTTPS port set in https_port. | ||
| https_port | integer | The port number where SPS accepts HTTPS connections. | ||
