WARNING |
|---|---|
| This is recommended only for advanced users, proceed with caution. |
This is an example of how to force web app access via HTTPS. For this example, AjaXplorer will be used but this will work with any web app.
- Go to your config file for apache:
| bash code |
|---|
cd /etc/httpd/conf
|
- Now it is time to create a key and a crt. It will ask you a few questions, just make sure that the Common Name is the domain name:
| bash code |
|---|
openssl genrsa -out filename.key 1024 openssl req -new -key filename.key -x509 -days 1000 -out filename.crt
|
- Next open up /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf with you favorite editor and add the following to the end (not needed if you implemented :
| Text |
|---|
NameVirtualHost *:443
|
- Open terminal and do (needed by apache to make this work):
| bash code |
|---|
yum -y install mod_ssl
|
- Find the file that has ajaxplorer in its name (i.e. 1026-ajaxplorer.conf):
| bash code |
|---|
cd /etc/httpd/conf.d/
|
- Edit it to like this (change username.yourhda.com):
| Text |
|---|
<VirtualHost *:443> ServerName ajaxplorer ServerAlias username.yourhda.com SSLEngine On SSLCertificateFile /etc/httpd/conf/filename.crt SSLCertificateKeyFile /etc/httpd/conf/filename.key DocumentRoot /var/hda/web-apps/ajaxplorer/html <Directory "/var/hda/web-apps/ajaxplorer/html"> Options Indexes FollowSymLinks +ExecCGI AddHandler fcgid-script .fcg AllowOverride AuthConfig Order allow,deny Allow from all </Directory> </VirtualHost>
|
- Finally create a file called 1026-ajaxplorerhttp.conf (number may be different for you) and add this code (change username.hda.com):
| Text |
|---|
<VirtualHost *:80> ServerName ajaxplorer ServerAlias username.yourhda.com RewriteEngine On RewriteCond %{SERVER_PORT} !^443$ RewriteRule ^.*$ https://%{SERVER_NAME}%{REQUEST_URI} [L,R] ExpiresDefault "access plus 10 years" AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE text/html text/plain text/xml </VirtualHost>
|
- Now you need to restart apache:
| bash code |
|---|
service httpd restart
|
- And that's all, you now have 128 bit encryption for AjaXplorer. Note that when you uninstall the app, you will need to manually remove the 1026-ajaxplorerhttp.conf file you created.
