Problem with HTTPS upgrade

Tom Elliott

I’m sorry my script didn’t work out of the box for you. Remember, I have a totally separate environment, and I just tweaked things to generalize so you could attempt to use it.

Updated the script so that the copy commands should have no more problems.

Of note here, the script copy the files into the repo source. So to see the change, you would need to re-run the installer once done.

I did reinstall after the script finished.

I dont think i have any of the 10sec stuff in my files tho.

Did you update the script below in the previous post?

Tom Elliott

@sbenson Yes, I updated the script below.

The script takes all of the information from the installation to copy over into the repo.

So your first steps would be to copy the necessary files.

Something like;

cp -r /root/fogproject/src/ipxe/src/* /root/ipxe/src/
cp -r /root/fogproject/src/ipxe/src-efi/* /root/ipxe-efi/src/

Then run the buildIpxe script. That should present the 10 second information properly too.

Ok, copied those over and got it compiled without any errors. Installed, and still gives the

https://10.63.76.44/fog/service/ipxe/boot.php… No such file or directory

EDIT: it says http:// let me hardcode the https://

Sebastian Roth

@sbenson Ok, we still have some URLs in non HTTPS style (and another one here) in the bootmenu generation PHP code. I am sure @Tom-Elliott will fix this soon.

EDIT: Tom just fixed it, you might want to upgrade to the latest working…

Tom Elliott

THis isn’t a very common ask, but wouuld you mind switching the git branch to working with: git checkout working?

I’ve pushed up a hopeful fix to route the httpproto in use for the tftp call to also call the node it’s going to reference.

I do plan, in the near future, to add the ability to check/uncheck if a node is expecting to be used in https mode, though how to build the binaries with this in mind is a not simple.

@tom-elliott said in Problem with HTTPS upgrade:

git checkout working

Switched, Pulled, errored about changed, Deleted the packages dir, pulled.

Should I run buildIpxe?

Tom Elliott

@sbenson if you would like, please.

Though I’m going to imagine the pull failed to switch.

Try:

git reset --hard
git checkout working
git pull
/root/buildIpxe TRUST=/var/www/fog/management/other/ca.cert.pem
cd bin
./installfog.sh -y

sbenson

@tom-elliott the whole problem is the -S, so i am guessing you want a -S in there too?

EDIT: Did not work still, and is listed as http:// not https:// so default.ipxe didn’t get changed
EDIT2: Hardcoded https in /tftpboot/default.ipxe. now it booting says https but still file not found

Sebastian Roth

@sbenson Open https://10.63.76.44/fog/service/ipxe/boot.php in your browser again and see if there are still http:// URLs or https:// now! Post the full output here if you would like us to have a look as well.

sbenson

@sebastian-roth it’s all https now

Sebastian Roth

@sbenson Please post the output and a picture of the error on screen as well. I am pretty sure there is something that we all overlook but might notice when we see listing and picture of the error.

I just went through this exact process to get HTTPS working for my fog deployment. One of the more helpful things, especially for where you are at right now, was to enable debugging on the ipxe build as the file not found error was due to a couple of other issues related to the certificate. Additionally, although it shouldn’t have been necessary, building the CA certificate into the ipxe build solved another issue I had with it. To do the above, using Tom’s script, you would pass CERT and DEBUG to it like so (I used my own CA cert and not the FOG one, so the paths were different for me, but should be correct for you. Additionally, tls is likely the only debug option that you might need, but just in case I included the others):

/root/buildIPXE CERT=/var/www/fog/management/other/ca.cert.pem TRUST=/var/www/fog/management/other/ca.cert.pem DEBUG=tls,x509,certstore

Once built, you’ll of course need to reinstall FOG with the new build. When the client boots, it should give you much more insight into what is happening and why it is reporting the file cannot be found (assuming building in the cert doesn’t solve the issue you’re having). Once it booted, I ran into an issue with the check-in script not understanding the HTTPS redirect, but this is resolved in the working version now (I’m personally on the current release version, with some custom changes that are already in the working version).

Hope it helps.

EDIT: Oh, should probably also point out that if you do try this and eventually get it working, removing the debugging after would be a good idea so your systems don’t spew out debug text on boot.

Tom Elliott

@bmcalister Thank you, I’m not familiar with the process to build in certificates to this helps me out just as much as the community as a whole. I didn’t even know there was a CERT argument that could be passed in.

@sbenson Hopefully this helps you too and sorry I didn’t know about this sooner.

sbenson

@bmcalister Well guess what, it’s working now. Something in the

/root/buildIPXE CERT=/var/www/fog/management/other/ca.cert.pem TRUST=/var/www/fog/management/other/ca.cert.pem DEBUG=tls,x509,certstore

fixed it. So, turning debugging off might not work. Deploying an image now to see if that works, which seems to be working.

@tom-elliott said in Problem with HTTPS upgrade:

CERT argument

Oh I am so over this issue i am blindly copying and pasting commands that look correct at first glance. I totally missed the CERT= argument

sbenson

Here’s something else I have found now. Deploying an image is going at 127MB/min, where previously it was going at 8GB/min
