# Configuring S3 Connection Type (HTTP or HTTPS)

By default, clients can connect to the S3 service via HTTP or HTTPS. Settings are available to disable/re-enable each type of connection:

## Disable/Enable S3 Connection Types via VAST Web UI

1. Navigate to Settings -> S3.
2. Optionally disable/enable the following:

  - Enable S3 HTTP
  - Enable S3 HTTPS

## Disable/Enable S3 Connection Types via VAST CLI

Use the `cluster modify` command with one of the following options: `--enable-s3-http`, `--disable-s3-http`, `--enable-s3-https`, `--disable-s3-https`

For example, to disable S3 HTTP connections:

```plaintext
vcli: admin> cluster modify --disable-s3-http
```
