In some circumstances, you may wish to enable an HTTP listener as well. Notice that accessing Console over plain, unencrypted HTTP isn’t recommended, as sensitive information can be exposed. Enabling an HTTP listener simply requires providing a value for it in twistlock.cfg. At first, your configuration file would look like this: ``` ############################################# # Network configuration ############################################# # Each port must be set to a unique value (multiple services cannot share the same port) ###### Management console ports ##### # Sets the ports that the Prisma Cloud management website listens on # The system that you use to configure Prisma Cloud must be able to connect to the Prisma Cloud Console on these ports # To disable a listener, leave the value empty (e.g. MANAGEMENT_PORT_HTTP=) # Accessing Console over plain, unencrypted HTTP isn't recommended, as sensitive information can be exposed MANAGEMENT_PORT_HTTP= MANAGEMENT_PORT_HTTPS=8083 ``` To enable the HTTP listener, your configuration file should look like this: ``` ############################################# # Network configuration ############################################# # Each port must be set to a unique value (multiple services cannot share the same port) ###### Management console ports ##### # Sets the ports that the Prisma Cloud management website listens on # The system that you use to configure Prisma Cloud must be able to connect to the Prisma Cloud Console on these ports # To enable the HTTP listener, set the value of MANAGEMENT_PORT_HTTP (e.g. MANAGEMENT_PORT_HTTP=8081) # Accessing Console over plain, unencrypted HTTP isn't recommended, as sensitive information can be exposed MANAGEMENT_PORT_HTTP=8081 MANAGEMENT_PORT_HTTPS=8083 ``` After you’ve updated the configuration file, just rerun *twistlock.sh* for the changes to take effect. For example: ``` $ sudo ./twistlock.sh -s console ``` --- # Agent Instructions This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters: ``` GET https://docs.prismacloud.io/admin-guide/33/configure/enable-http-access-console.md?ask=&goal= ``` `ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. `goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case. The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation. Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
