Troubleshooting Web-management and HTTPS Dependency

This section provides examples for resolving issues related to web-management and HTTPS dependencies when configuring RESTCONF.

RESTCONF cannot be enabled if global web-management is disabled. The following syslog message is displayed:

SYSLOG: <14> Mar 02 16:27:38 Router CLI CMD: "restconf enable" by cli user from console
[Error]: Error - Cannot enable RESTCONF: web-management is disabled. Enable web management first.

Enable web-management globally using the no web-management disable command.

device(config)# no web-management disable

When RESTCONF is enabled, web-management HTTPS cannot be disabled.

device(config)#no web-management https

SYSLOG: <14> Mar 02 16:33:05 Router CLI CMD: "no web-management https" by cli user from console
Error - Cannot disable HTTPS: RESTCONF is enabled. Disable RESTCONF first.

RESTCONF requires global web-management to remain enabled. If RESTCONF is active, global web-management cannot be disabled.

device(config)# web-management disable
Web disable will disable both HTTP and HTTPS. This command may take some time. Do you want to proceed?(enter 'y' or 'n'): y
Error - Cannot disable web-management: RESTCONF is enabled. Disable RESTCONF first.

Note: To disable RESCONF and its dependencies, follow the reverse order by disabling RESTCONF, HTTPS, and web-management.
