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.

Hi,

i use stunnel as provided below..

• Previous message: [zenoss-users] Zenoss core 2.1 login problem
• Next message: [zenoss-users] Ubuntu 8.04 SSL
• Messages sorted by: [ date ] [ thread ] [ subject ] [ author ]

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...
