No Node Left Behind
Oh, come on - just put it behind Apache and let it take care of any SSL handling...
Although I never tried this with Zenoss, I'm running the ZMI of a zope installation over ssl. Pretty easy to do so:
1. Configure the SSLEngine for your virtual host
2. Configure and enable the proxy module. Be careful not to create an open proxy!
2. Add rewrites using Apache's proxy (these examples here are for the Zope:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^/zope$ http://localhost:8081/VirtualHostBase/https/someserver.tld:443/VirtualHostRoot/_vh_zo
pe L,P
RewriteRule ^/zope/(.*) http://localhost:8081/VirtualHostBase/https/someserver.tld:443/VirtualHostRoot/_v
h_zope/$1 L,P
I have no Zenoss installation here to test it, but I guess it should just work.
Cheers,
Bernd
P.S. The "nice tidbit"-url seems to be broken.
... that was supposed to be "Although I never tried this with Zenoss, I’m running the ZMI of a zope installation over ssl using Apache" - but I think that was obvious ![]()
A friend of mine has setup access to zenoss with stunnel for end to end encryption. I have not set it up myself but he indicated that it works well.
