Zenoss Over SSL

Posted by shuckins on Apr 19, 2007 5:06:35 PM

Nathan, has a nice tidbit on running Zenoss over SSL on his blog:

Since Zenoss runs inside of Zope, you have to do a couple of things to get it to run over ssl. There are zope plugins, and perhaps there is another way that Zenoss would recommend, but I have never been one for reading when I can stomp full speed ahead :)

Does anyone else have Zenoss running over SSL? If so, what’s your recipe?

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.

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
