Restricting Browser Access

For security reasons you may want to restrict access from a browser to Syncrify Server and just allow backups to occur over that port. Following steps demonstrate how to block access from a browser but still allow Syncrify Clients to run their backups.

Syncrify Server can listen on 2 HTTP and 1 HTTPS ports. You can disable access to web browsers on any one of them.

• You must be running build 943 or higher
• Locate server.properties file in $INSTALL_DIR\config folder. Create a new file if it is missing
• Enter the following line towards the end of the file:

  Primary HTTP	disallow.browser.for.primary.http=true
  Secondary HTTP	disallow.browser.for.secondary.http=true
  Secure HTTPS	disallow.browser.for.secure.http=true

• Save the file and restart Syncrify
