Advanced Namespace The advanced namespace has six commands and is based on adding and managing system settings found in the SCALE API and web UI. It provides access to advanced system settings and functions through the advanced commands.
Advanced Commands The following advanced commands allow you to add new and manage advanced system settings.
You can enter commands from the main CLI prompt or from the advanced namespace prompt.
GUI
Name Description GUI SSL Certificate The system uses a self-signed certificate to enable encrypted web interface connections. To change the default certificate, select a different certificate that was created or imported in the Certificates menu. Web Interface IPv4 Address Choose a recent IP address to limit the usage when accessing the administrative GUI. The built-in HTTP server binds to the wildcard address of 0.0.0.0 (any address) and issues an alert if the specified address becomes unavailable.
Cron jobs allow users to configure jobs that run specific commands or scripts on a regular schedule using cron(8). Cron jobs help users run repetitive tasks.
