Description
Disabling the Couchbase Web Console on Port 8091
If you would like to force Administrators to log in to the UI over an encrypted channel, you can disable the UI over the 8091 HTTP port, so that administrators can only access the administrative web console over port 18091.
http://developer-stage.cbauthx.com/documentation/server/4.5/security/security-admin-access.html
Remember: This setting does not disable port 8091 completely since port 8091 is an important Couchbase port that also handles REST requests in addition to the administrative web console.
To disable the Couchbase Web Console over port 8091:
curl -X POST -u Administrator:password http://127.0.0.1:8091/diag/eval \
-d 'ns_config:set(disable_ui_over_http, true)’
To re-enable the Couchbase Web Console over port 8091:
curl -X POST -u Administrator:password http://127.0.0.1:8091/diag/eval \
-d 'ns_config:set(disable_ui_over_http, false)’
