HTTPS FOG GUI webpage

[spooninbrian]

Is there a way to make the fog management web gui https?

@spooninbrian Re-run the FOG installer using the following option: ./installfog --force-https

But before you go ahead please let us know which version of FOG you currently run and how many PCs you have with fog-client installed?

[spooninbrian]

I have 30 hosts and I’m running 1.5.7

Do you have fog-client installed on those 30 hosts?

[spooninbrian]

yes, I installed it prior to imaging.

@spooninbrian You’d need to either manually edit the apache config to not make it force redirect to HTTPS or edit C:\Program File (x86)\FOG\settings.json on the clients and set parameter HTTPS to 1. The later method is preferred from my point of view.

Allow me one more question. Which Linux OS do you use? If you have Ubuntu then make sure you read and understand what is described here: https://forums.fogproject.org/topic/13488/fog-1-5-7-officially-released

But beside those two things you should be fine.

Updating the settings.json on my hosts is what I did for existing clients when I made the move to HTTPS, and creating a new image with an updated install to be used with future clients. The easiest way I found with existing clients was to create a group policy that would move a corrected settings.json into place from a file share.

Then just don’t say yes when asked if it should re-install Apache and PHP right at the beginning of the installer. You should be save then.
