    Hey

     

    Make sure you have all the needed apache modules like mod proxy and mod redirect

     

    Create a vhost that has the following config

     

    <VirtualHost *:443>
            ServerName <hostname>:443
            ServerAdmin <email>
            SSLCertificateFile /etc/apache2/zenoss-ssl/server.crt
            SSLCertificateKeyFile /etc/apache2/zenoss-ssl/server.key
             CustomLog     /var/log/apache2/zenoss-acces.log combined
             ErrorLog      /var/log/apache2/zenoss-error.log
             RewriteEngine On
             RewriteRule ^/(.*) http://<hostname>:8080/VirtualHostBase/https/<hostname>:443/VirtualHostRoot/$1 [L,P]
    </VirtualHost>

     

    Restart apache.

     

    It's also usfull to change the zenactions module (this can be done via the GUI - Settings - Deamons - zenaction and change the zopurl to match the https address. If not the url in the mails will be incorrect.

    For those like me who want to keep it simple.

    Caveats:

    Ubuntu 8.04
    reference install of ZenOSS using the stack
    keep your Apaches/Proxies/Compilers to yourself, kthx
    Internet Exploder no likey use Firefox

    Away we go...

    sudo bash

    apt-get install openssl stunnel

    cd /etc/stunnel

    openssl req -new -x509 -days 3650 -nodes -out stunnel.pem -keyout stunnel.pem

    chmod 600 ./stunnel.pem

    nano /etc/stunnel/stunnel.conf -->

    cert = /etc/stunnel/stunnel.pem

    [https]
    accept  = 443
    connect = 8080
    TIMEOUTclose = 0

    Save/Close

    nano /etc/default/stunnel4 -->

    ENABLED=1

    Save/Close

    /etc/init.d/stunnel4 restart

    su zenoss

    cd /usr/local/zenoss/zenoss/etc

    nano ./zope.conf -->

    <cgi-environment>
        HTTPS ON
    </cgi-environment>

    Save/Close

    zopectl restart

    Go have a beer - your new and only ZenOSS URL is https://yourserver


    p/s.. i would say this probably gonna work with other distros also...

    Re: How to run Zenoss on Https.

    Hi All,

     

    Appreciate your help regarding zenoss https using apache2.


    Below is apache2 configuration for https:

     

    <VirtualHost *:443>

    ...

    ...

    RewriteEngine On
    RewriteLog /var/log/apache2/rewrite.log
    RewriteLogLevel 3
    RewriteRule ^/zport(.*) http://%{SERVER_NAME}:8080/VirtualHostBase/https/%{SERVER_NAME}:443/VirtualHostRoot/zport/$1 [L,P]

    </VirtualHost>

     

    FYI, I redirect all http request to https. Below is the configuration to redirect http to https:

     

    <VirtualHost *:80>

    ...

    ...

    RewriteEngine On

    RewriteCond %{SERVER_PORT} ^80$

    RewriteRule ^/?(.*)$ https://%{SERVER_NAME}/$1 [L,R]

    </VirtualHost>

     

     

    I access zenoss through https://{SERVER_NAME}/zport

    Everything seem fine until I find out that Event Console does not show the list of event.

     

     

    Need help on how to fix this? or any trick to make it work?

     

     

    Information:

    Zenoss 2.5.2 (using zenoss-stack_2.5.2_x64.deb installer)

    Ubuntu 10.04.2

     

     

    Thanks in advance.

     

     

    Regards,

    syafu
