Hi All
Has anyone configured the cluster configuration backup to an HTTPS target hosted on the IIS server? Is it possible to set up the server in such a way that there's no need to use an ASP or PHP script? The WebDAV plugin seems to work well with the PUT method and HTTP, but it appears to not support the POST method, which is necessary for HTTPS. I'm using the Basic Authentication and an AD user.

why not simply use an FTP server? That's probably the easiest to configure

We already use FTP but it's not encrypted. We are in the process of transitioning to an encrypted protocol. Since we're already using HTTPS for other purposes, it was my first choice. If this doesn't work out, I'll consider switching to FTPS.

Personally I have not used https for configuration backups. But I know that ftps works fine because we use it for hundreds of customers' systems. There's a small bug in some ONTAP versions where the SSL connection is torn down before the FTP session is closed, resulting in some minor warnings in the logs, but the data has always arrived safely on the server.
