Amahi Forums

Is there currently an available way to enforce https for all pages in Amahi? I read about the http password, but unfortunately, it's plain text traffic.

I've taken a look around the forums and various places but haven't found any mention.

I noted mention of /etc/monit.conf and the httpd service being started and wondered if anyones tried modifying this to spawn the httpsd service instead.

I dont mind a bit of hacking around to get things to work, or the update issue, so any input would be great.

i think user jfrenc14 has done it. there may be more.

one idea we had was to have a checkbox to enable it on a per-app basis.

the way you do it is by enabling it in the corresponding apache config file for the app you are interested in.

judging by your comments (there is no httpd service as as service proper), you may not have much experience with apache (no offense please), so, i would be very careful about touching apache conf files, as they can render your interface unusable. i would recommend taking a safe copy (cp -a) of /etc/httpd before you touch anything...

where it says <VirtualHost *:80>

it should be changed to <VirtualHost *:443>

for the /etc/httpd/conf.d/*.conf for the app that you are interested in.

You are correct, I have little experience with Apache, but a reasonable amount of time in the trenches with Nix.
Eventually, I plan to have this machine headless so I'm pretty concerned about locking the box down. I'm really hoping the ubuntu release drops soon as I have a bit more experience locking down that distro (not apache however).


After some more digging around, I found the following page.
http://wiki.amahi.org/index.php/AjaxPlorer

On the page there's instructions for HTTPS but I am still fuddling around with them for this single app. As it stands now, I get the https pop up to auth the cert, then recieve a page stating that apache is not configured. I'm pretty sure my problem is in the ****-ajaxplorerhttp.conf.

In the event that I can get this working I should be able to figure out most of the other apps.
