Disabling Wire-Level Security for a Volume Using the CLI and REST API

You can disable encryption of data on wire at the volume level.

CLI
Set the value for the wiresecurityenabled parameter to false when you:
  • Create the volume. For example: 
    maprcli volume create -name <volName> -path <volMountPath> -wiresecurityenabled false
  • Modify the volume. For example:
    maprcli volume modify -name <volName> -wiresecurityenabled false
REST
Send a request of type POST and set the value for the wiresecurityenabled parameter to false when you:
  • Create the volume. For example: 
    curl -k -X POST 'https://abc.sj.us:8443/rest/volume/create?name=<volName>&path=<volMountPath>&wiresecurityenabled=false' --user mapr:mapr
  • Modify the volume. For example: 
    curl -k -X POST 'https://abc.sj.us:8443/rest/volume/modify?name=<volName>&wiresecurityenabled=false' --user mapr:mapr
