Web interface SSL
-
It would be great to add SSL for the web interface. Both self signed as a default and an option to add your own 3rd existing cert.
-
@astrugatch all -S does is setup the vhost file so it will redirect to requests to https. The -c specifies which private key to use. If you need the installer to create keys for you, you can use the -K switch, and if you need a new CA you can use -C switch.
The installer already creates the keys for you by default, and the fog client looks for the servers CA key for validating the client is talking to the proper server.
If you want to use your own self signed cert, I might recommend using the servers CA so it works with that being the only difference you use.
As we do create the keys, if you’d like to use the fog generated key, the installer can just be ran with the -S argument. The only thing is recommend for that case is to import the ca cert so you dont have the self signed error. Machines with the fog client installed should see the green padlock as we do import the ca as I said earlier.
-
Using my key isn’t really a high priority as only I and the other admin will be using it so self signed is OK.
On the install process for self signed is it just -S and -c or is there something else I need to do for the installer to generate its own key?
-
@astrugatch setting your private key would not help much if you’re requiring specifics. The -S would force https I believe and -c would inform what private key to use, but it wouldn’t specify the server ca as the authority and would likely break the fog client. It’s for this reason I would recommend creating your own vhost file. Or you could sign your crt using the servers ca? But doing your own file I think would be the sinolest, just document it and why. In the near future we hope to be able to do away with the ca but for right now it’s kind of needed.
-
So if I put my domain cert.key file in /opt/fog/snapins/ssl and use the -S and -c modifiers would that take my cert?
If that doesn’t work I’m OK with making my own conf file, I’m just trying to make this as hand-offable as possible so someone doesn’t need to know a ton of unique specifics to work with my environment.
-
@astrugatch It works only for the private key.
The full setup, however:
Usage: ./installfog.sh [-h?dEUuHSCKYXT] [-f <filename>] [-D </directory/to/document/root/>] [-c <sslPath>] [-W <webroot/to/fog/after/docroot/>] [-B </backup/path/>] [-s <192.168.1.10>] [-e <192.168.1.254>] [-b <undionly.kpxe>] -h -? --help Display this info -o --oldcopy Copy back old data -d --no-defaults Don't guess defaults -U --no-upgrade Don't attempt to upgrade -H --no-htmldoc No htmldoc, means no PDFs -S --force-https Force HTTPS for all comunication -C --recreate-CA Recreate the CA Keys -K --recreate-keys Recreate the SSL Keys -Y -y --autoaccept Auto accept defaults and install -f --file Use different update file -c --ssl-file Specify the ssl path defaults to /opt/fog/snapins/ssl -D --docroot Specify the Apache Docroot for fog defaults to OS DocumentRoot -W --webroot Specify the web root url want fog to use (E.G. http://127.0.0.1/fog, http://127.0.0.1/) Defaults to /fog/ -B --backuppath Specify the backup path --uninstall Uninstall FOG -s --startrange DHCP Start range -e --endrange DHCP End range -b --bootfile DHCP Boot file -E --no-exportbuild Skip building nfs file -X --exitFail Do not exit if item fails -T --no-tftpbuild Do not rebuild the tftpd config file -P --no-pxedefault Do not overwrite pxe default file -F --no-vhost Do not overwrite vhost file
What might work better is for you to create your own type of “fog.conf” file and install with the
-F
or--no-vhost
switches. This way you don’t have to worry about updates breaking/potentially losing your cert information.
-
-c --ssl-file Specify the ssl path defaults to /opt/fog/snapins/ssl
I see this in the --help does the cert need to have a particular name or will any *.crt be recognized?
-
@tom-elliott said in Web interface SSL:
Is there a way to add a cert post install that will survive updates or will I need to run the installer again to add my cert?
Does the modifier take both the .key and the .crt?
-
Both of these already exist.
